Saturday at Portland Farmer's Market


We spent Sat. morning downtown at the farmer's market taking in all the interesting sights and scenery. I was amazed at the variety of produce and flowers, and from all the different areas of Oregon things come from. It is quite an experience. The people who shop there *seriously* all look like the epitomy of Pacific Northwesterners - a log of Patagonia fleeces and beanies, organic cotton, leather shoes, running attire, decked with backpacks bursting with local goodness. After purchasing our week's supply of fruits and veggies, we took the streetcar down to the water front so Olivia and Drew could have a "train" ride. Here is a picture of Drew - Olivia is going through this inconvenient stage of turning her head and frowning every time I have my camera out. It's real fun...the result is a lot of pictures of Drew - who is too busy exploring to notice me taking his picture.

Happy Birthday Andrew




I'm a couple days late, but Andrew turned 2 on September 18th. I can't believe it has been two years - Time really does speed up when you have kids. We have really enjoyed having baby drew in our family - he is sweet, full of smiles and laughter, so affectionate, charming and smart. What more could you want in a two-year-old, really? He received all his favorite things for his birthday - a basketball, a bull dozer, a puzzle, crayons, thomas the train things, and a bike! What a lucky guy. here are just a couple pics

Olivia's First Day of Preschool


We started the day out with a plate of 3 warm pancakes on her favorite Pooh Bear plate.

Then we said prayers and said good-bye to Daddy
