Life Is What Happens to You While You're Busy Making Other Plans

In his last album, in a song to his son, John Lennon sang this line: "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." A few months later he was dead. That line seems to sum up so much of the odyssey we have been on (we hope without the tragic ending). It has been thirteen years since we moved to Cincinnati; one year today since we were blessed with our beautiful girl, Dashiell. Since then, life has just happened. And we've barely been able to keep up.

It hasn't been the way we had planned, but in most ways it's been better. Our one complaint is being so far from family. So, in a probably feeble attempt to keep up, we hope to be posting more about our life to share with our friends and family, we are starting this blog. It likely will be a hodge podge of things about our lives, from updates on my writing to Kristin's plans for our soon-to-be-finished basement to Dashiell's newest word. We plan to update this blog regularly, but hey, life happens.

So, welcome to the Suess house. Sorry about the mess.

— Jeff
