New Neighbors

We have some new neighbors out here on Elochoman - Gary and Charlene Hanson. Sold their house up in the Seattle area and are going to be living out here in a travel trailer as they build a house. They seem like nice folk - you know like the kind you would feel comfortable running over and borrowing an egg or two from. They seem to really like our kids too. It'll be nice to have neighbors close out here on the wild frontier.

Happy Birthday Lila!

Lila turned 2 today! She had fun opening presents and eating cake and ice cream. Its hard to believe it was two years ago that we welcomed her into our world. We love you Lila! You make us smile!

High Flying

One of the best times of the evening is Daddy time! The girls like to wrestle and jump all over Ryan. Here are some cool shots of them flying through the air. Don't worry - Ryan always catches them!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope you all had a great day! Here are a few pics of the kids. They really like Valentine's Day. I think it has something to do with all the candy they received!

Good Times

We had a visit from Eric and Hannah this past weekend. It was great to see them and have them in church on Sunday. The girls were so excited to have them visit!

Alaina and her preschool class went on a field trip to the Cathlamet Post Office last Friday. They each mailed a letter and saw the process it goes through to get to their mailbox. It was fun for me to ride the bus with Alaina and see her having fun with her classmates.

Shades

One cool dude.

Sisters and brother

A closer friend I'd never find
Than the one I call my sister.
