Robin's Parents come for a visit!



Robin's Parents came for a visit after being gone since January. In their spare time...they visited Costa Rica! We are looking forward to seeing all their pictures and hearing more stories. After dinner, we had the traditional trip to the ice cream parlor! Andrew had a brownie, topped with three scoops of honey vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, carmel and whipped cream.
Thanks for visiting Mom and Dad! We love you!

Charlie started to whine and cry on Saturday night. He wouldn't move off his bed, even to eat. We were all pretty worried about him. This morning, we took him to the Vet who determined he has a pulled muscle on his rear left leg - he's much happier now. It's amazing how helpful it is to have pain medication and muscle relaxants! He's still favoring his leg, tender on his side, but our happy, loving dog is back!

Zoo Tripwith the High School Group

Saturday found us at the Zoo with a million other people ready to celebrate Packy's 47th birthday. We saw all the animals, even yelled "Happy birthday" to Packy - even though he didn't respond, we all know he was glad to see us!

Back to School......


We are all back to school and work. The nice weather just started, up to 78 degrees and beautifully sunny. We've all spent as much time outside as we can. Trevor is working on his tree climbing skills, Andrew with amp-guarding with Cooper, Mark and Robin bike riding. Even Charlie finds patches of sunshine to lay in.
According to all calculations...only 9 mondays left, 51 days of school!

Spring Break is finally here!!!


We took off on Monday to ride the Mosier-Hood River Twin Tunnel Trail. It looked like the best day of the week for a ride...since the rest of the week was forecasted as rain. (Gotta take it when you can around here!)
The trail was about 5 miles one way, paved for pedestrians and bicycles only. It took us about 2 hours to ride the whole way (10 mile round trip). We had a blast riding, eating, and sightseeing. Even Charlie had a great time, he loves to ride on the back of Robin's bike.
