Winter flew by!

Tracking runs on one of the few days we've skied.

Sunny winters means we can actually go to the zoo! 

Bike ride in the Gorge.

So many choices!

Quick trip to Eugene to see Sue.

Another hike, with amazing views!

Sun again? Can this be Oregon?

State swim championships.

Rest break (this is the longboard Jackson made with Jim).

7th grade field trip to the zoo.

A birthday!



It's hard to believe it's mid-March. I think all Oregonians are out of sync because it feels like we didn't have winter. Yes, its been wonderfully sunny but the downside is terrible ski conditions. And that will have a big impact on what happens this summer since much of our water comes from melting snow. We've enjoyed more outdoor activities like hiking and biking because its been so mild. All the flowers started blooming 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule so it's absolutely amazing to see right now. Everyone is happy and healthy and we are enjoying our last few weeks with a pre-teen. Come April 16, we officially have a teenager!
