Papa's Birthday

Everything looks better through a pair of beer goggles. Happy birthday Pat. Hope you never change.

Colton and Michelle

Just fixing the photo from the "proposal" post. The first image somehow cropped out the beloved bride-to-be.

Colton proposes to Michelle

We are all rejoicing after Colton hatched an elaborate scheme to propose to Michelle.  She accepted his proposal in a moment somewhere between a heartbeat and a nanosecond.  The rest of us were waiting-not in the wings but in the woods-to celebrate.

Scooter Dog

We should have known better than to start Gizmo on the scooter thing.  Now, like a wayward teenager, his whereabouts are hard to keep track of.  This morning he was singing something about, "Rake the world in a rove embrace" which makes no sense to me.

Christmas Craziness

Breanne didn't know she'd have to share her Christmas scooter with Gizmo. We are having a hard time finding a helmet to fit him

Finally, a posting from Neal and Kristy!

• We have never taken the opportunity to post to our blog, mostly because we have been tied up with opening our new cafe, One Street Down Cafe, in Redmond, Oregon
• Here are a couple pics from our opening.  Mark and Jeanine are enjoying a good cuppa jo and Breanne and Kelsi are living the dream.
