Katarina's Birthday!

Kennedy fell in love with Katarina!

Family visit

Our family visited Portland for a week in July. We had fun here at home on the deck where we were joined by Ma, we hiked and picniced at Bridal Veil Falls in the Gorge, we cooled off in West Linn's fountains and we rented a home on the beach in Pacific City for a few days.

Climbing the hill......

........at Pacific City. The big sand dune created a challenge for all of us. It was quite a trek, but definitely a sense of accomplishment when you reached the top.






I made it!
