Portland

We went to Portland for a few days a couple of weekends ago. Our first day there, we went to OMSI Oregon Museum of Science and industry. The kids really enjoyed it. James left the camera in the museum! He ran back though and someone had turned it in. Usually (ok Always) I am the one doing things like that! Luckily, someone turned it in. OF course, when we got to the hotel, Parker accidentally dropped the camera! SOO the only pictures of that weekend are of the museum! We have sinced returned the camera and have a new one! :)

Blog Envy!!

Clearly, James has a bad case of Blog envy.. I knew he really wanted to get on here and post some things! So If you could not tell, James is in on the blog as well!. I hope all is well out there with you guys. We need receive amazing news regarding our friend Aaron, who is battling cancer. He is half way through his treatment and had his first scan and it came back completely clear!! He was at stage 4 non hodgkins lymphoma. God is good!! ( all the time) :) BUT this is extra good!! He is not out of the woods yet, so please continue praying for their family- it is working... :)
I have planned three crafting classes and they are almost full! It is really exciting for me. I do miss my ohio crafty girls though don't worry! :) We havea new camera and James will not put it down! I have been looking for a great spot around with lots of leaves to try to get some fall pictures. It is so beautiful here right now. It amazes me everyday.

on a sneaky note.. I finally found the deceptively delicious book by Jessica Seinfeld. It is about sneaking pureed veggies into your childrens food! I am soo excited because we have one really picky eater here. I will let you know how the decpetion goes..
