Evelyn

I'm supposed to be writing the conclusion to a paper, but I'm procrastinating. ssh, don't tell my writing group or co-author.

I thought a good use of my procrastination would be to write down some of the things about Evelyn that make us laugh and love her more each day. Oh, dear, I do sound like one of "those" moms. I apologize, but man this kid is cute.

1. We've completely forgotten what her first word was. Oops.
2. She has so many more words each day it is mind blowing. Last night she said "Eat orange. Right now!" Pretty sure we can thank the Landry's for that "right now" part. She loves to be "chased," but she doesn't quiet get how it is supposed to work. At best she will run from you shouting "I got me! I got me!" and worst she will just sit there and laugh while you try to get her to run away.
3. She loves to eat seeds--any kind of seed. Okra, cucumber, coriander, etc.
4. She is beautiful. Her hair lands in soft waves framing her perfectly porcelain skin and huge, gorgeous, blue eyes.
5. She loves the number 8. Loves it.

And now for something completely different...

...after several years of living (and sometimes loving) the rural life in Mississippi we've decided it's time for a new adventure. We are moving this show north. Really far north. Canada north.

Sarah has accepted a position in the sociology department at McGill University. Yes, that is a French speaking city. No, we do not speak French. Yes, we may be a little crazy.

Phil is, once again, willing to sacrifice his career for hers and is planning on getting connected to the substantial urban agriculture and CSA community in Montreal.

This probably doesn't surprise many of you--really, we are far more Canadian than we are Mississippian. And we are sure there are plenty of people in Mississippi who think Canada is exactly where an atheist, Jewish, socialist family should go. There are lots of people down here we will miss, but we are also very excited for the next phase.

So, if you know of anyone looking for a gorgeous house and sustainable farm on 5.6 acres send them our way!
