It's been way too long, we know, but we are back, hopefully for good. We have spent the summer very close to home barely venturing outside the city limits. We did have a nice hike on Oak Island just outside of Portland on Sauvie Island. We are hoping to make a new Sunday tradition out of it. If you come for a visit we promise to take you!

Aryne has been toughing out the rough economy by working her tail off and trying to sell as many houses as possible. She's even started a real estate blog. Check it out at http://www.arynesblog.blogspot.com/. Kathe has been bouncing around the camp circuit since mid-June - zoo camp, theater camp, Spanish camp, soccer camp and just plain ole campy camp. She has taken a couple weeks off to spend some quality time hanging out with Aryne & Jason and be bored at home. There were a few adventures to the Chinese Garden, a hike at the Audobon Society and the Japanese Gardens, and some fun time spent swimming.

We have spent a lot of time in the garden too. Jason has done a great job planting and harvesting our crops. We had delicious blueberries - you can see Kathe hiding behind the bushes above - peas, cukecumbers, lettuce, kale, herbs and we are just starting to get ripe tomatoes. Soon we'll have delicious sauce!
Impressive huh?
