yay spring and good times in the northwest

Not a whole lot going on here these days (aside from working a lot.) We had a great trip to the Seattle area visiting with Matt's family and especially our little cousin Connor, who is 4 years old now, and we haven't seen him since he was just a little baby! Here are a few pics...

Connor!


Check out that hair


Matt and Connor looking suave at the Portland Zoo


Fun at the Mariners Game


Awesome family dinner


And finally... it seems to be spring here. So exciting! This is my favorite moment of the year, when brand new green starts emerging from those brown branches.

Looks like it is me commenting again! Thanks for your thoughts....we are waiting specifically for Y....although the wait could literally be years. At some point we may decide to go with another child but then have our paperwork ready again for her should she become adoptable....it's pretty tough.

Roger Park, huh? My old stomping ground! We should grab coffee sometime! Do you like Metropolis/AKA Little Addis Ababa?
