Week 15: Going going back back to Cali Cali
After the vlog last week, we are back in California for some family meetings and to bring home my mother-in-law. We’ve gone out in Bend, but mostly on walks around the neighborhood and out on trails. It was pretty surreal to come back and then go out to dinner with the rest of the Fongs.…

Week 14: House Update Vlog
This week I’m going back to vlogging. Enough has changed in the house that it’s easier for me to do a walk-through than to put up individual pictures. Hopefully it’s not too nausea inducing, but I did break it up into four parts to help reduce the motion sickness. The kids were very interested and…

Week 13: Spring Planting
I’m not really sure what we did last week. I think it was a lot of chores, building and planting. It’s all kind of a blur now. We got a lot of things done, but so many little things that there’s nothing very significant to show for it. Mrs. Fong and I potted up some…

Week 12: The Sprinkler Mystery and Decor
I am happy to report that we are pretty much all settled. Save for a few random boxes of things that I don’t know where to put, we’re unpacked and now into decorating mode. This is the fun part. Unpacking is for the birds, but I love decorating. Most of my motivation to unpack was…

Week 11: I 100% thought it was week 12 already…
We are finally getting into the groove of things here in Bend. Our Bend house is mostly unpacked and our Martinez house hit the rental market today. The kids are really enjoying the new house and their own rooms even more. Mrs. Fong seems to be enjoying herself even with the kids waking her up…

Week Ten: Moving In
This week’s post is going to be vlog style because, well, when you see the state of the new house, you’ll know why. Next week’s post will probably be the one to describe the trip up here and how the whole move went. In general, it was a pretty good move. The movers packed everything…

Week Nine – It’s Moving Time!
It’s finally here! I can’t believe that we’re finally moving. I don’t know how many times I’ve said it to myself in the last 24 hours. It feels like it’s been an extremely long process. It really has been, too. Mr. WTF and I have been discussing the possibility of moving for a few years.…

Week Eight: …no catchy title because it’s week freaking eight.
Week eight is going to consist of packing and trying not to eat my kids when all their toys and art supplies are already packed. All these weeks I’ve been saying that I’m committed to at least one educational activity a day. Well, that’s on hiatus until we move and unpack. …or forever. I’m exhausted…

Week Seven: Another Extension
We decided at the end of last week that it was time for us to get a move on. It’s a good thing we decided that too because I emailed our movers and my contact informed me that their summer rates would increase on May 15th and the Bay Area just had another extension to…

Week Six: Mr. WTF Turns 36
Like many other people, Mr. WTF will be spending his birthday in quarantine. While it is a bummer, it’s better to stay in for this birthday and live to see the next one. We know a few kids who have unfortunately had to spend their birthdays in quarantine and we really feel for them. Let’s…
Got any book recommendations?
WHAT THE FONG?
