Having postponed school until we reached Oregon and settled in, we finally began school last week. Lily has officially started kindergarten, and I'm excited! This is my last one! Whoo-hoo! Maybe I'm getting excited too soon... I do have the teen years to travel thru, and it IS 13 years down the road before she's off to college, but having had three girls go from this stage to almost all of those same girls graduated from college, I do know how quickly it goes.
It looks like we've found some renters for our house in San Diego. PTL! We continue to search for just the right spot for us to settle up here. And also searching for just the right church that God would have us join. We decided to put the kids into a local AWANA program so they could start building friendships and they would have a constant in their lives as we try out new churches each week.
Our neighbor came over to invite us to go shopping with them at the local Columbia River Outlet store which his wife works at (she can get us bigger discounts) so we have warmer gear for the colder weather when it hits. Now that's friendly!
The weather so far has been lovely. We have had little visitors in our backyard; squirrels and a very friendly raccoon who came and scratched on the glass door. He was adorable, but we resisted the idiotic urge to trust that docile appearance and watched him from behind the glass (just like at the zoo!)
Eric has been coming home and telling me how the guys at work, who are locals, keep having to turn on the heater and are already complaining about it being cold?! Must be the thin-skinned tribe of Oregonians.
Oct. 11 - We headed out to Sandy River and a park that's close by (within 2 miles of our home.) Here's some pics for you to enjoy.
Can't wait to have you all come up and visit us in this gorgeous part of the country!
We also drove out to Corbett (5 min. drive) and saw this great view of Mt. Hood. I wish I had Abigail's great camera.... mine just doesn't do this view justice but hopefully you get the idea.
