brevity

hi. photos will have to tell a bit of the story once again because i have little time to pack and only minutes to post. last tuesday we returned from our 12-day adventure to the south (east). we arrived in nashville, stayed 5 days, drove east to charlotte, passing through asheville (which i would move to in a matter of days were it out west), stayed 5 days, back to nashville and then home. today we are headed down south for ben's water conference. let's hope for warm(er) weather :)
we are all doing well + wonderful. alasdair is a riot... as photos project. and this little lady is growing, growing, which also means her kicks and jolts have much more 'gusto' --- night-waking for mama, already. so soon and we'll meet her. i need to prepare.
