Welcome

I wanted to welcome the two people in Europe that accidentally checked our blog.

My skills are limited

My hair cutting skills have reached their full potential. We broke down and joined the other wise parents that have professionals handle it. We are a freshly groomed family only I feel a little cheated because Owen watched part of the Cars movie, Lucy watched Dora, Kevin watched ESPN and I listened to two hairdressers talk about how much one of them didn't want to be in the wedding tonight...blah blah blah. Oh, and mine cost twice as much.

The Hills

The hill in my parents' back yard is bigger than any hill in Abilene. It doesn't take much. In case you haven't heard West Texas is flat. While we were in Oregon I would stand outside the house I grew up in and think "did I really grow up here and not notice how amazing this is?" Apparently so. It's funny that I wanted so badly to take pictures of my kids on anything with an incline. There were also 3 deer that just wandered around the house. They were so sweet. I took a hundred pictures at my grandparents' Christmas tree farm but I am not bluetooth capable yet.

The Oregon Trail

We are back from our 2 week excursion to the great northwest. We went for a wedding in Portland that was very beautiful. Our baby Rachel got married. She was in the youth group in Oregon so that makes me feel strange. She wanted Kevin to marry them which was really the sweetest thing. It was great to spend a few days in Portland this time. We went to The Edgefield for lunch and then out to Multnomah Falls in between bouts of rain. It really is one of the prettiest places. We went to church at Imago Dei the first Sunday and it was a great worship experience. It was very Portland like. I love Portland. I miss you sweet friend.
