That's almost 2o lbs. right there.

Happy helpers.

Lovely Mt. Hood.

Ready for some backstroke.

Back to school and other good stuff







School started over a month ago and it is clear the blog has been neglected. But life has been busy with the usual array of back to school fun: homework, soccer, swimming, rugby, volunteering, work, etc.. Luckily we've been able to get out on Sundays and hike, which is the best way to counteract the crazy schedule of the school week. Hiking is a great family activity and something I'm hopeful we can continue even when we find ourselves pulled in a million different directions. And when the snow arrives, we will likely be up at Mt. Hood skiing (if the boys pick) or snowshoeing (my choice).
