It has been kind of nice having family around so much lately. Isa has been a bit sad now that she doesn't have bunk mates any more.
We went to visit Bob over the weekend. All of Mom's reports about his miraculous recovery are true! It might be awhile before he's throwing Lumpy tennis balls, but he's pretty chipper.
We had a lovely visit with Dad, Yayoe, and Hanni on Sunday. We took them over to see the new house, and they all promised to come back up and help move. Yeah!
We will probably start some peliminary moving this weekend, depending on Destin's birthday plans (Jenny - keep us posted).

We should finalize our house buying this week! It's been a long road and I don't think I've allowed myself to get really excited about it yet. It will just be nice to have it done and over with!
But, if anyone wants to come and help... moving day is Feb 10th. We'll probably get started at 9 or 10am, and have tons of goodies to eat. If there's anyone who wants to come up to hang out with kids, more then move, that would be equally appreciated!

Isabell is 6!! I'm always amazed at how fast the time goes. We spent the weekend with 2 of her friends at a cabin near Mt. Hood. It's the same place Robbie & I went for our anniversary. We went sleding, exploring, and had lunch up at Timberline lodge. She declared it the best birthday ever!
We got home Sunday afternoon, and took Mom's car up to the VA Hospital. Bob was still in surgery, and Mom and Anna were waiting for news. Mom called when Bob got out last night to say that things went well.
Mom just called again - Bob's still pretty sedated, but is begining to be aware of his suroundings again. Mom will be at our place latter today to catch some sleep while Anna and Aric are with Bob. Feel free to call here if you'd like.

Note to Mom - (thank you to Adam for allowing us a site for this kind of stuff!)
We will not be in town on Saturday. I will drop your car off on Friday - near the elevator on the level with the skybridge. I'll leave our house key in the car - please crawl into our cozy bed and relax. I'll leave yummy coffee on the counter!
Have a safe trip - send our best to Bob (and his stomach).



We're all home for a snow day

January 16, 2007 by Seraph in Cortez

We're all home for a snow day. There is a good 4-5 inches outside so I stayed home too. Here's the park next to our house. Robbie, Isa, and some of the neighbor kids have been playing, and are now warming up with some Lion, Witch, & the Wardrobe.



Isa has been growing like a weed these days

Isa has been growing like a weed these days. The other night it was cold enough for us to get out her really warm PJ's- only to find they didn't quite fit anymore!

Hi Mom! Glad to hear you guys are having such a great time! Could you e-mail, or post, your return info? Just want to make sure we're there to pick up :)

Snow!!!! Sorry Sadie, but this year the snow came here! Robbie and Isa are home for the day as we brave a whopping 2" of the white stuff.
We do have some good news on the home front. We had an offer accepted on a house early this week, and an inspection yesterday. The house will need the kind of work that all NW 100 year old homes need, but nothing major. We are looking at closing at the end of the month, and moving shortly after. Yeah!! The house is not far from where we are now, and I'll try to post some pics by the end of the week.

Isa started ice skating lessons yesterday - a Christmas gift from Alex & Carolyn. It took a few minutes, but she was off and skating in no time!

Happy New Year! We had a quiet holiday - barely making it to midnight.
We took Sadie shopping around PDX on New Year's Eve. I think we managed to impress her - or simply wear her out! We got her off to the airport that evening, and I hope she had someone cute next to her to ring in the New Year!
Now it's back to work, and it's kind of nice. Even Isa was excited to get back to school. Another 365 days under our belts!
