I had a wonderful time at the coast with Jamie and "the girls" last weekend, and now we're gearing up for another fun filled weekend!
The week has been chugging along in high gear at work. Mom's case load is slowly tapering off, but only because half of them are going to trial between January and mid-March!
We're excited about Destin's birthday on Saterday afternoon, and then we're powering up to Portland to celebrate Raven's birthday. Back to Eugene early on Sunday so Robbie can teach Sunday School.
We're talking to a neighbor about fixing our road. The city does little to help out, so last weekend he got some gravel and filled in pot holes. I think we'll try to organize another weekend "road crew" to finish up the large (lake sized) ones!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISABELL!!!! She has the funny...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISABELL!!!!
She has the funny habit lately of talking in her sleep, most of it rather usuall giberish. The other night though she started laughing and in a goulish, Galiumish voice said "and they call him Mr. Frodo" over and over. Maybe that should signal an end to Lord of the Rings before bed!



Isabell turns 3 tomorrow

January 21, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez

Isabell turns 3 tomorrow. Amazing how time flies by. We had a little birthday get together at the pizza place on Sunday and Mom is going over to her school today where they are having cupcakes. I told Mom I'm jealous, as I have yet to visit Isa's school.
Work moves forward though it is very nice to have Mom back at the office. The next few weeks are going to be busy, but that is probably good for all.
This weekend I'm sneaking away to the coast with Jamie and the girls. I'm feeling slightly guilty about leaving the weekend after Isa's birthday, but I'm hoping that that will be something she will have forgotten about by the time she's an adult. If not, well, there's always therapy.
Robbie and I sat down over the weekend and have started to lay out our plans for the next few months. It looks like my job will finish up at the end of February, so we're working out what exactly to do between then and July. I'll keep everyone posted.



It's been a bit of a week so far

January 14, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez

It's been a bit of a week so far.
Isa had been wetting the bed the last two weeks and we were not sure if we should worry or if it was just post holiday regression. Robbie finally took her into the doctor last Friday and she has a urinary tract infection. Luckily the med's are starting to kick in, so we're not changing the sheets as often!
Ducky also has a tumor. Although it's not uncommon for dogs to get them we now have to decide if we should spend the hundreds of dollars to have it removed or wait and hope it's benign. Sigh...
I talked to Mom briefly on Monday and it sounded like they were having a nice time in the sun and under the palms. The office continues to be chaotic, but so far we've made it to Wednesday ok.
Well, I need to sneak back to work before anyone notices that I'm slacking off for a minute!



We woke up yesterday morning to frozen pipes

We woke up yesterday morning to frozen pipes. Although we've been sliping and sliding a bit we've managed to make it everywhere we needed to be. I was mostly glad that I got caught up on the laundry just in time!
We stayed with Hanni last night so that we wouldn't begin to smell to badly, and Robbie called me this morning at the office to let me know that the water was starting to come back on. Now the ice is starting to melt away and now we're on to flood warnings



Happy belated New Year! We woke this morning...

Happy belated New Year!
We woke this morning to another dusting of snow. The funniest part is that our car door locks freeze up and Robbie usually ends up crawling through the back hatch to open the doors from the inside.
Isa got new tap shoes and ballet slippers yesterday, and has been dancing around to the Nutcracker all weekend. I managed to pry her out of her fairy tutu this morning (as she had slept in it).
Isa starts back at school today and we are back to normal weeks at work. Hopefully we'll be able to get back on track after the usual holiday time warp!
