Weekend Adventures & we're in it now....

This past weekend showed us some new adventures in getting to know the area in which we are now submerged for the next three years. Last week the neighbor who likes to Bow hunt, he was looking for a hunting partner for opening weekend here in Western Oregon. Very serious in his searching for game, Shane left me early Sat. Morning and came home Sat. night with a pulled muscle and telling me he is not quite as young as he once was.

Sunday we went to one of our three finalist churches, then I told Shane he owed me an outing. We chose to go to Sauvtic Island where there are many U-Pick farms with ripe Peaches and lots of other produce to chose from. We had lots of fun and came home with quite the bounty which I'm now canning with my new pressure cooker & water canner which I've had since Kelli was a baby.


Today was Shane's first classes as a Seminary student. Kelli starts school next Tuesday, not sure what to do with Daniel, Dakota is acting like a three year old, & Seth is crawling. We are adjusting quite nicely to living in Portland and all the changes we've faced these last few months. Thank you for all the prayers and encouraging words you said to us and for us.

Have fun! I can't imagine how you're doing all this. Makes me tired just thinking about it.

Whew! Break for update

Long awaited update, we have made it through 7 weeks of school both for the kids and ourselves. It's been a productive semester, God has been guiding our steps and we're continually thankful for that! He has also been growing us and peeling off bandages of hurts I haven't dealt with. Through it all He remains faithful and I am most grateful for that. We've had a slew of birthdays roll through our house these past months. Dakota had hers on the 30th of January! She got some really pretty outfits from Grammie & Grandpa Aunt Nelma,Uncle Paul, and Cousin Steve. She also got a coloring book and sunglasses, another little doll, crown from cousins and neighbor kids, sorry if I forgot anything. We had a little party for her with homemade pizza! My little girl is now 5 years old, scary when she was once so little. My little boy Seth turned 3, February 15th. We had a family party on the day of his birthday. He got some great outfits, and cool cars from Grammie ...

Month in review

Image
As always it's remained busy for us this last month. We enjoyed a few days away from Portland at the end of March with Dawna, Kurt, and Girls; and Neva, Jason, Thomas, and Katherine. They are all getting so big, it was a treasure getting to spend time with all the nieces and nephew. Unfortunately, Kelli brought headlice home from school. Ugh! We are still battling this with the kids. I'm remaining vigilant. We had a great Easter with sunny weather, and school friends coming over for dinner. The kids dyed some Easter eggs Saturday afternoon which was fun to do. They all looked great in their new outfits. School is gearing towards the end of the semester so we are staying busy. It's been a good year thus far and we are looking forward to the journey of continuing.
