It's been long enough since we posted that I though you might need to be reminded what we look like. Portland has really grown on us. We wear all natural fibers, eat locally harvested foods. You'll be pleased to note that we've also added a former president to our family ranks.

All seriousness aside, I'm very excited that Hilary reminded us that we have a blog. Now that we have internet at home, we can actually participate a little better. If you want to know what happened to us between our last entry and May, you'd better just call us because it would take too long to catch up here.

These are some pictures from our trip to Multomah Falls when my good friend Paul from Rochester came out to visit us. Paul is Joseph's Godfather. I know we don't really do that as Mormons but Paul is Catholic, and we're good friends. Joseph didn't remember him at all at first, but by the end of the long weekend he was asking for him.

I'd never heard of it before we moved to Portland. It's up the Columbia River Gorge, which has tons of beautiful waterfalls of which Multomah is just the most famous and wheelchair accessible. It is a steep one mile hike (about like the hike to Timp Caves), and Joseph made it all the way up on his own steam with one refueling stop. He's a tough kid.

Here are some more pictures from the Multnomah falls trip

Pictures are worth a thouand words, and I'm tired so here a bunch more pictures from our lives lately. Categories include: 1-our new play structure (got it for $15.00 on Craig's list), 2- Another slide we got from a garage sale for $3.00, 3- A visit to the Enchanted Forest, 4- Joseph measuring things as he is wont to do lately, and 5- Joseph with an interesting hat that can double as ear-muffs. Enjoy.
