I missed our gospel meeting last night. I think I am coming down with either a bad cold or the flu. Lorena and the kids went to the meeting as usual. When the returned, I was already a sleep so … Continue reading →

An era is over. Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah have moved off of their farm in Newberg to a beautiful two bedroom apartment in Lake Oswego. It is a little bit hard to imagine, but we are all happy for … Continue reading →

Lorena went to her accounting class last night so Christian, Kelly, and I were home alone together all evening. The kids are both doing great on their homeschool programs. The Sonlight literature and history programs are absolutely stellar as is … Continue reading →

The big event is on Saturday. Christian’s friend Micah will be coming down from Beaverton. I will try to get some pictures up after the party is over. I will continue to be a little overextended for the next month … Continue reading →
