Relief!

Grandma Spag is here, which means that David and I get to enjoy a little relief from parenting activities. Michael last saw Grandma Spag in May when we went down to LA to visit cousin Ella. David and I are grateful for this visit on several levels. There's a third person to watch Michael, help with his daily upkeep, and entertain him. She eats this up too, of course. It also appears that we'll have a chance to escape a little today to maybe see a movie. I don't remember the last movie I saw in a theater, but it was definitely while I was pregnant. I think it was Mulholland Drive.

Having family here to assist with Michael gets me thinking about moving back to California. This past week I spied a job opening down there that looks pretty attractive. Again, we're starting the discussion of whether it's time to leave Seattle. I'm still applying for my job to become permanent, but this opportunity to move down to California is very interesting indeed. We would gain the family network being closer, which would be a great benefit. We'll see what happens.
