Inane Ramblings has been woefully neglected as of late. That’s what happens when you’re a jet-setting photo guy with a pregnant wife, a new house, and far too much RL stuff to do.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Stevo is quite round and moving at a snails pace. The doctor said the baby is ready to arrive although the due date is June 11. If the doctor was using the lunar calendar (which I still don’t comprehend) Mrs. Stevo could be overdue. I’ve learned not to ask too many questions about Chinese culture.<\/p>\n

We have finally moved into Chateau Stevo, freshly remodeled.\u00a0 I say we <\/em>meaning myself and my mother-in-law. Mrs. Stevo is still staying with friends and will move in when her maternity leave starts this Friday. I look around the place with awe I<\/span> we paid for all this, or will have in 23.5 years.<\/p>\n

Most of the rooms\u00a0 are lovely. My “study” is not. Boxes of books, photography gear and assorted crap are stacked helter skelter. I may have time to organize it all, when the baby starts kindergarten.<\/p>\n

Pictured above are the movers I have gotten to be quite good friends with. Last Sunday they brought the final load to Chateau Stevo – our large wedding photos and a television. They didn’t even charge us (because they over-charged a naive<\/span> generous Stevo last time). The television no longer works we learned after trying to hook it up. I have no idea what mother-in-law is doing with her time.<\/p>\n

And special thanks to Jessie at Wandering Educators<\/a> for the lovely baby blanket she sent. Either by luck or fate – It’s Mrs. Stevo’s favorite color.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
