Tess in Trees

Our new house has two Japanese maples out front.

Tess loves the trees, which are beautiful and low-branched, and she is spending a lot of time in her new perch.

The Last Move

Silas has moved five times in nine years.  Tess has moved three times in three years.  (And Rosie, three in five.)

We expect the kids to move zero times from now until college.

Our move-in date is March 17. 

The new house is just a mile from our old home, and we are still in San Mateo.

The kids (especially Silas) are happy that they will remain in their same schools.
