The pieces are falling into place
Sarah returned from her trip to Pittsburgh triumphant! We have a great rental house in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood signed. Our rent is now 1/2 of what it is in LA, this seems like a bit of a plus in moving from the west coast.
We have had some challenges in finding day care for Claire in Pittsburgh. This has been a concern, since we have liked the daycare in LA so much. There are some promising signs though, one of the places we liked the best looks like it may have an opening, otherwise we may have to get a nanny for a while, or some other alternative.
We begin our packing tomorrow. Hopefully we will get a good start over the weekend... The movers show up on Tuesday morning.

Bassinet occupants update
Sarah's family has used this bassinet for a generation, each new occupant having their name written on the underside.
Long ago we blogged about this
We got around to adding Claire's name to the bottom. She seems to be the first of the next generation to use the bassinet, since there was a 14 year gap in occupants.

This seems like a big change...
I would like to especially call out the yearly precipitation days difference: 35 vs 153.

Here we go again
We originally created this blog some 4.5 years ago to document our crazy, rushed move to Los Angeles from San Jose.
So now i guess we circle back to the start; we will now document our crazy, rushed move from Los Angeles to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! Yes, we are moving again, this time cross country.
We moved to LA because Sarah got a new job at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. This time Sarah has gotten a new job at the Carnegie Museum of Art.
We've been getting quotes for moving companies and auto shippers. We've been hunting for daycare and rental houses. There is an awful lot to do.
In part of the interview process, we flew to Pittsburgh as a family. Claire's first plane trip. She did great; thank you portable DVD players & Yo Gabba Gabba! We were honestly surprised. I was expecting a complete meltdown on the plane, but it never happened.
Stay tuned, there will be many updates.
