A Little Bit of Kadence

Amya worships her big cousin, Kadence. Everyday when she sits in her highchair to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, this picture faces her from across the table. After every few bites, she waves at Kadence and giggles.

We miss you Kadence, Bryce and Suria!

Catherine's Creek

This is in Washington, looking southeast towards Oregon. You can see the base of Mt. Hood on the left.
We went on a hike this weekend in Washington.

...taking a break at Catherine's Creek...Amya has no respect for her mother...
Amya loved getting out and walking...downhill only. When she tried walking uphill, she just fell over backwards.
If you look closely you can see Dan and Amya on the top right. It was very hard to climb back up that gravel hill, but worth it for this picture!
...looking across the Columbia River to Oregon orchards...
...looking down on the Columbia...

Fun with a cup

Puffyface

Ok. Carol has "morning puffy face" syndrome. Dan doesn't. He can wake up and look like he's been awake for hours. Carol has trouble seeing out of her eyes because the lids are so swollen! Amya, unfortunately, takes after Carol. Anybody else out there have "morning puffy face"?...and want to post a picture?

The 70's Rocked!

Hat Mishap

I should have known something was up when she was "letting me" brush my teeth in peace. Sorry Aunt Danielle! She can still wear it, it just won't look as cute!

Hi Ms. Marli!

This is to all you PCCS people! We miss you all! Amya is pretending that her Wuzzle is Ms. Marli and she is saying "hi" to her. Email us and let us know how you are doing!

Hired Help Part II

...a day in the life of Amya...

I think Amya looks like Talylor in this picture...anyone else?
Amya loves brushing her teeth. When I turn my back, though, she likes brushing her feet!

...on a stroll yesterday, wearing her yellow hat from Ms. Amanda and her yellow blanket from Ms. Ann...

First Visitors!

Here's Burt and Chris Ann saying good bye before their quest for the summit of Mt Hood. It took 4 days and they were holed up in an ice cave for a bad storm, but they made it!

hired help


We hired a maid last week to help out with the housework. She told us she had lots of experience, but, we think she might have been just saying that to get the job....we probably should have checked her references.....

at least we're not livng in Florida!


heres Dan during our 2cnd week on Oregon.

We went for a hike yesterday in Washington. It was relatively warm and sunney. So, we took advantage!
