Trying to Finish Well!

What a wonderful recharging Spring Break we had, unfortunately real life and school jumped right back into our lives without hesitation. But the peaceful time was very peaceful, and we are thankful for that. This past weekend Shane & I were studying and doing homework for our classes Monday, but we were able thanks to our friend Zora to get a dinner out. We went to Gustav, a German resturant in town with wonderful food. We came home around 7p.m. to have our neighbors the Meyers come over for a round of games before putting the very tired kids to bed. Today was Seth's well child check up, he weights 30.5 lbs, length 36 in., and 19 c.m head 75 percentile straight across. The boys are full of energy and our outside blowing it off. I also decided to quit facebook, it's been something I've been praying about lately and finally decided to do it. I still love hearing from people and seeing pictures. Everyone is recoverying from the off normal bed times, and early morning...

We had a fun time escaping Portland, for five days this past week. We left for Seattle and my sister Dawna's house Friday mid-morning.

We arrived at Dawna's around 3 p.m. and played with the girls, until dinner time. Visiting with Dawna and Kurt until it was late, then loaded up the kids to head to Neva, Jason's, & Thomas house to spend the remainder of our time. It was fun having Neva & Jason's as our base, the kids slept in the extra bedroom and we slept on their new enormous couch. Played x-box with Neva & Jason, had dinner with the family, cousin Steve, and Sidney. Enjoyed the sunshine, and visiting. Sunday we went to our old Church Alderwood to the Encourager class, shared tears & hugs with all of our friends that are still there, the...

1st of Praise God for an amazing year & an amazing birthday weekend. I find myself blessed by wonderful friends whom I've made over this last year. The events started Friday when Shane had a date planned out, even invited some good friends Scott & Karen Lowe. Karen's blog has pictures of the food we ordered at Kenyan Safari check them out at http://scottandkarenlowe.blogspot.com . We then went to Biddy's and finished up the evening at the Lowe's house watching a movie until way past our bed time. Our single friend Z & Beks watched the kids for us that evening. Last night the single gals Beks, Gretchen, Filisha, Elli,& Zora, took me out to Paradise dance studio to learn how to Cha Cha. Unfortnately we didn't arrive until after the lesson had started & I let my reluctance to try new things? prevent me from getting on the dance floor to stumble around learning the steps. I did find out that they have Salsa dancing every other Friday with low c...
