Color Commentary

Because every post needs a picture, I bring you a picture of Anna from our car ride to Seattle.

We made it! We are in Seattle! After two days in the car, preceded by two days with moving crews, we are settled into our temporary housing, and house hunting in force. Though we took a house hunting trip, and have Google Doc upon Google Doc of listings we've checked out, we've yet to find a house that will work for us. I swear we aren't picky; it's just taking a lot of time.

There is one person who is picky, though. Little Miss Clara has decided that our house needs a specific quality. In fact, the color is not an option. For days she's been asking if we'll get a house in Seattle. But not just any house. No, she specifically asks for a green house.

As we went to get out of the car to visit the first house on our list today she looked at me and asked, "Is it a green house, Daddy?"

It wasn't, and the house won't work. After visiting another five houses today I got to thinking that perhaps she's on to something. Maybe we should only be looking for a green house.

Or maybe, Seattle is already turning her into a dirty hippy and she just wants a green (read eco-friendly) house.
