Time for a new blog! And so many pictures and videos to show. Finn is 10 months old now. Has a total of 6 teeth coming in, continues to inchworm all around the house, and for a few weeks has been pulling up to standing and cruising. This gives him a whole new level of the house to explore which he loves. It is cold and wet now, but for the last month or more we have had beautiful weather and spent lots of time outside, which Finn also really loves.

Though we have loved the house we are living in now, we are moving yet again when our lease ends on April 15. The purpose of this move is to save money in an inexpensive place with a short-term lease while we wait to see what happens with Mark's job situation. So many schools have hiring freezes on, and only one member of the graduating class in his department has found a job for next year, and that is in far northern Canada, which would be so cold I don't actually envy him, though I am happy for him. This new place will be a place for us through the summer, and if there is still no job we will go from there. The new place is a tiny one bedroom apartment. The three of us and Hounddog will be squished in there, but cozy is OK. I am excited about being three blocks from the awesomest park and baby pool in austin and the apartment complex itself also has a nice pool and hot tub so it should be a fun place to spend the summer.

Mark leaves in the morning for a conference in Albequerque, so I will have Finn by myself for three days. My job is going great, I really like it. I'm only working 12 hours per week at the moment, which is perfect. That about sums up the news, so let's get to the good stuff. Remember that to watch the videos you have to click on the link that takes you to the blog.
