We've been enjoying the rain at home, even if it makes Isa a little crazy that she's not allowed to run around outside in a swim suit!
Robbie finishes up his summer programs today. He finished his last week with 7 boys! Amazingly he's been having fun, including renting a race car video to watch today.
The weekend will be spent getting ahead (I hope) on homework, and several of the term end projects.
I think Isa and Robbie will be heading down for a visit next week. We'll keep you posted.



My life has moved from mid-terms to finals

August 19, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez

My life has moved from mid-terms to finals. There are only a four more classes (only three classes in two of mine) before the term ends!
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend. It's also my high school reunion, so I will be running around catching up with old SEHS folks. It should be fun.
A little note to Adam and Jamie: Isn't it funny how, no matter how gender nutral we try to be, kids have built in genetic code that tells them girls do one thing and boys do another?
Little note to Adam: Don't expect Doom 4 any time soon. I read an article in the Oregonian about the guy and his company who created it. The last part noted that he and his wife are expecting their first child this fall. As you know, I just don't think he'll have quite the time to devote to game creation as he does now!

I failed to mention the excitement that WAS Portland on Friday. It was rather fun seeing all of the Kerry supporters craming the MAX going from Kerry rallies to Bush protests around town (yes, here were a few going in the other direction as well). It was strange trying to explain to Isabell that there were two very important people in our city, and that was why it took 1.5 hours to pick up Dad at work, instead of the usual 20 minutes. All she said was that she was bored...sigh, I suppose interest in politics takes awhile.

Good morning to all in Eugene! I missed you all yesterday, but it sounds like everyone had fun.
I've been holed up in the house for...well many more hours then are in a day! I'm slowly getting my two projects done, though I've discovered I have serious commitment issues with my art. Noting seems harder then putting charcol to paper!
We would love to go camping. I've heard Labor Day weekend floating around. I'm still in school, but have that monday off. Let us know!



Quick note from class before we take our mid-term

August 12, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez

Quick note from class before we take our mid-term. Two today. Looking forward to this being over! I might send Robbie and Isa down this weekend for Jordan's birthday and stay home to finish up to major projects. One of which is an exact (down to the type of paper, media used, and scratches) reproduction of an old master drawing! Things have been a little crazy felling, but we're thinking of you all and miss you like crazy.

August 05, 2004 by Seraph in Cortez

Well, I'm completly bogged down with school and life right now. I'm again posting from my computer class (actually before, not during). It looks like my midterms are going to be starting next week, and will stretch for three weeks (right up until finals). So, although I will be in Eugene later this month, don't expect me to do much more then quiver and twitch with nervousness and lack of sleep.
Life for Isa and Robiie is chugging along. The days and weeks are flying past. We found a nice little church near our house. We attended last weekend, and went to their National Night Out block party on Tuesday.
We also went bludberry picking last Saterday and to the Zoo last Friday.
The only bad thing that's happened is that I lost my mother and child pendant some time on friday. Although I don't usually place much value on amterial objects, this loss feels very foreboding.
