Pacific Northwest is Calling to Us...

Announcement: Tom & Kathryn are moving up to the Portland area this August (in 5 weeks! Yes, we are in shock, too, but all is well and we'll have a grand adventure! It is a simple switch of office for Tom - same job, same company, just in a place where he can do all he does - and have us in a house (with a big backyard!). We don't have an address yet, but there are things in the works. We are really looking forward to living near Kirk & Lindsay's family but are very sad to be leaving Kara & Chuck's family here in California.

Tom will do a quick trip up to Portland soon to put finishing touches on housing and work details. We'll update everyone soon.

Bananagrams

Jared experimenting with Bananagrams tiles. It is fun to see what words he is thinking of in his mind. He loves figuring out "the grown ups' secret language"! If something is phonetic, he can figure it out - it's just too bad our language has so many exceptions and variations to rules. Try explaining why "phone" is not "fon" and "one" is not "wun"...
