Finally!

We are in Portland and we have furniture! We road tripped up Hwy 1 along the California and Oregon coasts to our new "digs" here in Portland. Unfortunately the moving company we used took their time transporting our things the 800 miles from Santa Barbara to Portland (we found out later that all moving companies suck and it has been suggested that they are run by the mafia... if there are any mafioso reading this blog, please improve your customer service, i.e. get our stuff to us on time). Three weeks after saying goodbye to my bed, I finally got to jump on it in glee. We love our apartment. It's right in downtown Portland in an area called the Pearl District. We are all settled now so Baby Lars can show up at any time. Hint, hint baby...


Redwood Forest National Park. That's one big... (you can fill in the blank)


Sonny and Christine drove up to visit for the fourth. We wanted them to be house guests but only had one air mattress. And, yes, I know, this is a truly horrible picture of me, but I think it shows my total self-confidence to post it anyway.


Visiting Tor's college buddy Brian in Palo Alto.


At the Ranch with Grandpa Bill and Aunt Emily.


Throwing cobs off the porch at the ranch, it's a McCutchan family tradition.


Visiting Tor's Aunt Linda, Uncle John, and cousin Amanda in Eureka. Apparently it is part of California's pot mecca Humbolt County. I didn't smell anything in the air though.

I am SO jealous that you get to give birth in a few weeks. See, I guess it's good for me that the pregnancy part is so crappy...because the giving birth part, easy. You WILL have an epidural, right?

Oh, and DON'T feel bad about not fitting into regular clothing the first couple of weeks. If you do, great, if you don't, only people in Hollywood can claim that after four weeks they are back to "pre-baby" weight. And, always remember that not only did they have a c-section, but they always have someone on hand to do a tummy tuck right after the baby. I wish I were rich.
