Sunday was a great day. Matt spent most of the day reading his school book, but how hard is that when studying looks like this? We spent time with Grandma and Grandpa (my parents) and Uncle Austin. Eva can only hope she inherited these eyes: Eva had a great time meeting her cousins. [...] Four generations of Mootharts with two Louises! We flew out to the LA area Labor Day weekend. It was Eva’s first trip and the first step toward our goal of having a travel baby. I think it went well – Eva hardly cried on the first flight, and didn’t cry at all on our return. She had a meltdown or two on [...] Despite the incredible, unheard of week of snow in the Seattle area (it’s still coming down!), Matt and I managed to make it into town in Christmas Eve, and our plane even landed early. We were lucky, because here’s what the world looked like the next morning: We had a wonderful Christmas, indoors [...] It’s been a busy latter half of the year, as many of you can probably tell by my almost complete lack of posting on our blog. I thought it might be wise to post an update before I go back to my draft posts from January and March and try to actually get them done. [...] Easter Island was incredible, lots of hiking, moais, caves, and petroglyphs – and we of course promise lots of pictures once we get to a stable, fast Internet connection. Right now, we’re back in Santiago airport waiting for our connection to Calama, the airport closest to San Pedro de Atacama. This town is on [...] Matt and I like Santiago. It is beautiful, ringed with mountains, and mild and green even in the dead of winter. I would love to live here, if only to wake up to mountains every morning and eat at a different Chilean restaurant every night. Santiago is typically used by tourists as a jumping [...] Matt and I are midway through a five-hour stop at the Toronto Airport. “Didn’t they mention they were headed south?” you might ask. “Why fly through Canada?” It’s a good question—and one the customs agent asked. We are headed to Chile, but stopping through Toronto was not much longer and much cheaper than flying [...] It’s been a busy month, quite social for the introverted ajmatt blog, as evidenced by our lack of posts. Last Sunday I went hiking with my friend Lisa in Shenandoah National Park. The park entrance is about an hour outside of DC, and our hike was at mile marker 19, about 20 miles south of [...] Matt and I are in Seattle for the long holiday weekend. While Matt and Austin were out buying fireworks, Lindsey (Austin’s girlfriend) and I inspected the wildlife in my parent’s yard. The above two (super fabulous) pictures are by Lindsey. The below (boring vanilla) picture was taken by me—we’re going to have [...] |
