-Dad has helped ALOT this week!!! Thank you so much!!!!

-Took Mom and Kids to 150 Mile to Thyme for tea - had a lovely time! Unfortunately it was VERY hot that day and the kids complained alot about being hot and thirsty. I gave them my camera to keep them busy - but holy I spent about 1/2 hour going through the 70 or so pictures - you do what you have to do - all in all is was really nice.

-Kids invited to a b-day of one of the local kids in Forest Grove. We had a great time meeting kids and parents - this will make the first day of school a little easier for the boys! They had a great time even though it took them about 3 hours for the boys to start talking to the other kids. Tay on the other hand was right in on all the goings on with all the kids.

-Tay and I drove to Vancouver to see Momoko and her family. We had a great visit - very quick but so glad we came down!
