Playing Catch Up

I can't believe how fast time is flying. I can't seem to keep up. We have had an awesome but busy fall. We had a family reunion with the Kitchen side of the family, Trip to Great Falls, Cider Press in Forks, basically lots going on. Here are some photos to document the good times. My mom came down to visit and we went hiking at Multnomah Falls

Still Alive & Kickin'...just a few more miles under our belts

In case anybody was wondering we are still alive and doing well! Sorry for the lack of updates but it has been a crazy summer. The summer started out with a whirlwind trip to California for Mountain Ranch Convention and a quick visit to San Francisco. Since that point I have been to Alaska, Montana (4 times), Sequim, Chelan, and numerous other places. Somehow I have even managed to keep my job with all this fun. The highlight....My sister Lisa is home for the year from Israel/Greece. It is awesome to have our family complete again.
