Back in the USSR (Costa Mesa, CA)

We're back. And at 34 years old, I'm living at my parents (well only for a few weeks). So what is one of the first things we do -- we go to Knott's Berry Farm and ride some rollercoasters for Van. He's tall enough to go on a few REAL coasters as a 3 year old. Surprised? 

This is also when we got Van tested and diagnosed with autism. While there was a brief moment of self pity and fear, there were stronger feelings of commitment, resilience, and perseverance. 

We bought a new family car and are planning on a being a one-family-car kind of crew. Let's see how that goes. We really splurged on this one so I hope Toyota does us right and this one lasts us a long time. 

Back in our old new house and back to our old new shenanigans. OFF THE TOP ROPE!!!
