Back on the blog scene

Well, after a year or two I've decided to update the family blog. I know, I need to be better. Quick update from our end. We still live in St. Helens. Dan is managing commerical construction projects in the Portland area and staying very busy. Katie is super busy with 4 crazy kids 8 years and under and working 16 hours or so a week at an Assisted Living facility near her home. Isaac is 8 and going into 2nd grade. He was baptized in February....great time for our family. We're so proud of him. He will start soccer this year! Audrey is 6 and going into 1st grade and smart as a whip. She loves to read and spell. Adriana is 3, almost 4 and so cute. She melts our hearts with her big blue eyes and cute little sayings. Cassidy is almost 20 months and the devil. Yep, the devil. But we love our little devil. She is tough and is constatnly wrestling with the others, espeicially Isaac. She loves to hit the others with hard objects like t.v. remotes, and she loves to snuggle with mommy.....for 2 seconds, then she's off and running again. We still have our dog Daisy. She is now 4 years old and still a good dog. She's getting fat because Cassidy likes to share all her food with her. We are heading to the Boise area soon for a little reunion with both sides of our families then we'll get back home just in time for school to start. Yay! I love school! We are all doing well and feel very blessed to have all we have. I'm hopefully adding some fairly recent pictures.
