Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas. We had a white Christmas (my first ever) this year and it is only now going away - the roads are finally all clear and the only traces of the snow and ice is on lawns and what was pushed into piles from the snowplows. When I dug my car out of my driveway last Tuesday the snow was 18 inched on the roof! It was a lot of fun but I'm happy to finally be able to drive again. Of course Portland is never prepared for snow so the roads were not very drivable which put a damper on my Christmas shopping. We had a very cozy Christmas with our friends and family who are within walking distance. With the snow, some of my gift giving plans never really happened. It was nice to put gifts in perspective and realize that being with friends and family are what really matter most.

Holiday Happenings

I have not been very attentive to my blog. Graham and I have been busy - all good things - we're both doing well. Here’s a brief overview of what has been going on in the past two or three months. If I ever get my camera and computer together again I will also post pictures, we’ve taken some really great ones…A must see picture is of Graham and me on Halloween. Graham went in an original Star Trek uniform (we used one of his really tight bike shirts to pull it off - hilarious). Luckily we had a place to go, Ann and Jimmy threw a great Halloween party. November has been busy with work for both of us and of course having a puppy is a never-ending chore but Suki is well worth it. We had Thanksgiving with family and friends. Thanksgiving morning we had fun joining hundreds of other people at the Zoo and doing the Turkey Trot. My mom hosted dinner and Kylie and her family joined us and brought lots and lots of food – that’s the point right? Besides our holiday events we have been going on lots of doggie walks – Suki is over 50 pounds – huge when you realize she is only five months old. We are having lots of fun with her and even the cats are starting to accept her.
