They say you can't go home again, but in the wonderful lyrics of Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros, "Home is where ever I'm with you." We left our cozy abode on Hague avenue in St Paul, its truly wonderful neighbors, Minnehaha Falls, reliable bike lanes (okay, you get it), for southern warmth and while not perfect, it feels right. It is right and good to be near family and The Fresh Market and the church we were married in. Ben is now Dr Utter and I am Dr Utter in an urgent care which leaves me half of every month completely alone. No pager, no emails, just a few scattered texts and phone calls and it is good. Serena is finishing year one of Montessori learning and it suits her hands on mechanical mind perfectly.
I am reviving this online journal to document the events, travails, and minor details along the way to adding to our family. Ben and I thought through the many options for the future: only child , IVF, domestic adoption, and adopting again internationally. To be honest, I felt complete with our family of three but I was singularly outvoted by both Ben and Serena, the latter of whom asked with the most genuine plea for a little brother. And that is a story for another post. We welcome you back and while the most exciting action won't occur for at least another 3 months, please do follow along.
With always learning and seeking compassionate loving kindness,
B & B & S
