Portland Highland Games

Gavin channels William Wallace.

Bastille Day

Auntie Lindsey helped organize an awesome Bastille Day celebration for Pix Patisserie. After such a fun time, we agreed that the French are good people. Oh, did I mentioned hula hoops? Apparently these were used in the storming of the Bastille, as demonstrated by John.

Timbers v. Sounders

In a preview of Portland's MLS future, we were jazzed to see Seattle get a good ol' Portland beat down. Sadly the highlight of the match was when an "injured" Sounder was tagged in the nether regions by a water bottle chucked from the stands. Portland lost 2-1. As Gavin said, "Oh no Timbers!"

Minnesota Trip 2009

We made our first trip back to Minnesota in 5 years, this time with child in tow. It was great to see the Kari's again, and hang out with Nanna. Ana's wedding was beautiful. We went back to all of the old haunts, our first apartment on Grand Ave., the Como Park Zoo with it's free admission, and Minnehaha Falls. Also, this is a land of giants, and Gavin was able snag a ride from one of them.

Keawe Turns 2!

Keawe enjoyed some serious "body time" and chocolate cupcake. Later he showed us why golf clubs may not be age appropriate for toddlers.
