yikes, it’s January, a new year

Sadly it’s been 6 whole months since I posted anything here, not that anyone cares except for me!  But yes, in October came the birth of our second baby girl, Torrey, who like her older sister is gorgeous and healthy.  She is now approaching her 3 month birthday.  In September I left my job of the past three years at the Nature Conservancy (nature.org) – which was quite difficult for me.  I had an amazing time while working in the Conservation Science and Planning department of the California chapter, and got to know and admire my many colleagues there immensely.  The decision to leave was based on our decision to move to San Diego, so after Torrey was born we spent a few weeks enjoying her (and suffering from sleep deprivation) and then began to pack our belongings.  We moved out of Oakland on December 1 and arrived in San Diego the very next day to our new home in Pacific Beach.

We are enjoying being near Bruce’s parents and my mom, as well as having Bruce’s brother and his wife in town too.

But, needless to say we are missing our life and friends in the Bay Area.
