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.
