Swim at Warm Saltwater Pool


Huck was having such a good time, he didn't want to stop playing with the floatie noodle. Mac will come with us next time so we can get some in footage in the water...What a great place!

Time for a trike ride



We've had a couple beautiful weeks of sun lately and we've taken full advantage. Mac planted 22 new fruit trees in the Community Garden and we've been skiing and jogging and gardening like mad.

Here Huck's learning to wear his new helmet on the way to the garden. A handmade Vulture trike is being loaned to us as well so now Cole and Athena and Owen can ride along too!

XC Skiing near Crescent Lake


Huck and I enjoyed our day with Owen, Sarah and Clem skiing the *firm* snow in the High Cascades this weekend.

Sorry it's been a while...

Our camera was injured and we're getting it fixed soon.

Hope everyone had a great holiday season!

Getting Ready to Play in the Snow

Let's go!

p.s. Thanks Aunt Sheila for the mittens!

A Visit from Camas and a Goodbye to Skip



Ahhh- Winter's here! This week brought a foot of snow to the cabin and even more to the Pass.



Huck went on his first ski around the neighborhood and a sled ride with Camas.


Even Buddy got to ride for a while.





The last pic is of dinner with Eugene and his mom, Win, Derrick and us. Eug's dad passed away on Sunday. We shared a bottle of Smoking Loon Cabernet in tribute.

Almost a Year







As we approach Huck's first birthday I marvel at the changes in our lives- the fun, the challenge, the lack of sleep...

Here are a couple new pics and a shout of love and hope for Eugene's dad, Skip, who's struggling with cancer in the hospital in Eugene right now.

The first three are from a hike at Joe Goddard's Grove. The sun was magnificent shining through the recently thawed frost on the fir needles.

It made me think of William Blake:
"To see a World in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower."

New Trike!

Huck got his first trike today! It's really fast and sturdy and it's all-terrain.

And here's a glimpse of Neshi, he's healed up pretty well. Just some rather large scabs on his neck and he's otherwise normal. He's back to playing outside most of the day socializing with other cats and chasing bugs. We love our kitten cat.
