Enjoying the House

The whole family is enjoying the new house. We missed the little house for a while because it was more “cozy”, but soon realized the advantages. There was still plenty of room in the yard to play in the sprinklers (and on the slide at the same time). The new side patio is perfect for […]

We’re Back In

Right on schedule Emma and Claire are back in their house. Everyone moved in to the remodeled “little house” on Memorial Day weekend. It’s now our “big house”. Still a few things to be done (like hot water for the first couple days), but it all looks great. Emma and Claire are now in their […]

Overdue in 2011

Well we are WAY overdue for a posting. Since our last post Christmas has come and gone, our new “big house” (not to be confused with the old house which we now refer to as our “little house”) is going up fast, and Emma turned four!! Above you can see how quickly Emma, Claire, and […]

It’s Getting Cold

As always seems to be the case, there has been a lot of activity since the last post. Emma is in “big girl school” now…three mornings a week. Although she is a bit shy, she really seems to like it and is learning a ton. In fact she frequently surprises her parents about what she […]

Summer, Summer, Summer

Thinking of The Cars song with that title… Well, summer is seeming short with a late start (rain through June), dad being on the road quite a bit, and lots of general “busyness”. Despite all that Emma and Claire are enjoying themselves and finding things to do. The garden is growing (despite the squirrels), we […]

Spring is Coming

Emma is really enjoying being three. Spring should give her lots of opportunities to try new things. She and mom found the hammock and got it out. You can see the result below. Also, sibbling rivalry is starting. Claire stole Emma’s scone in the car. Emma yelled and cried while Claire smiled and ate. Again, […]

Can You Believe It?

Emma can’t. We heard that and “I can’t believe it!” when opening several of her presents. Mom and dad can hardly believe Princess Emma is three already. Everyone had a great princess themed birthday weekend with family birthday morning on Friday, extended family birthday Saturday at lunch, and some fun activities in between and on […]

Happy New Year

Christmas 2009 and New Year 2010 were sure wonderful for Ms. Emma. With lots of fun presents (including some dresses and PJs that were hits), Emma really got into Christmas and the weeks wearing her new clothes and playing with her new toys. Baby sister continues to grow and Emma is getting expert and making […]

Fall Is Here (And Almost Gone)

Emma has been quite busy welcoming baby sister into the world not to mention all the fun things that happen in the fall. She spent a bit of the fall down in Bend with daddy at his work. Trips to Sunriver and the High Desert Museum abound. Emma also found time to play on her […]

It’s Been a While

Well, we’ve had a busy spring and summer with the family spending most of our time in Bend with dad’s new client and our super busy weekends.  Don’t have internet access down there so haven’t been doing any posts.  We’ll, thought I’d at least get a couple picture up here.  Emma is trying out her […]
