One Good Visit Deserves Another

Summer is a beautiful time of year here in Oregon. We probably shouldn't say that as it violates the newcomer non-disclosure agreement... But it's been ten years so that may have expired. Even if it isn't sunny, dry and warm (but not hot) practically every day of summer... which it isn't... It's still great to have people visit. Soon after returning from Bend (where we celebrated the 4th) Jolyn's sister Becky arrived from Chicaaaago with Brendan and Leah. They are about the same age apart as Trevor and Hannah and just a little older so it works out great. It's amazing how cousins are such fast friends. It takes them no time at all to pick up where they left off. The Cruise Director (aka Grandma) had everything all lined up... a trip to the coast (that's the left coast) and jet boat ride, a day at the Wildlife Safari (yes, that's in OR), some shopping for the girls and fishing for the boys and of course a day at the lake.

Hannah's Happenings

Hannah has had loads of fun this past year. Her favorite summer camp was over-night at Camp Harlow where she slept in a cabin with her school buddy, Madeline. She is in 4 th grade this year and is having fun in math with fractions, long division, and common factors. Hannah just finished playing KidSports volleyball with her class mates. She is very excited about Christmas with her Aunts - Judy and Sally, and with Grandma and Grandpa, and “Uncle” Tim (Jolyn's cousin) who she hasn't seen in a very long time.

We ended 2008 with a wonderful gathering of Jolyn's entire family on the Big Island of Hawaii. Prior to celebrating Christmas in paradise with a wacky gift exchange (nice girly scarf, Brendan), we endured the Pacific NW's record-breaking Snowpacolypse or Snowmaggedon, (as described by the press), along with canceled flights and horrendous driving conditions to Portland. But we all (15 of us) finally made it and delighted in just being together in that beautiful, warm place!
