Our First Progress Report

Last week we were excitedly making our way to the mailbox to see if Sam's progress report had arrived. It brought back many memories for me of doing report cards - crazy to think that now I am on the other end.  
It was there waiting for us.  Sam was very excited to look at it and wanted me to fill him in on everything.  Sam will get his 'real' report card in the new year but this was a bit of a mini version - a progress report to show us how he was doing since interviews back in October.   We are just so proud of our little guy.  Truly, his progress report was about as perfect as it could be.  He received C's (consistent) in all of his classroom behaviors and participation and performed exactly at grade level in his reading / writing and math marks.  He has adapted so well to kindergarten and is absolutely thriving there - we are beyond thrilled.  We celebrated with Drew's homemade chocolate milkshakes (daddy has seriously good milkshake making skills)  Way to go Sam!

Sun River and Portland for Mid Winter Break

Drew had a conference in Sun River OR this past winter and we made the call to tag along for a little vacation.  Things were slightly dampened by the fact that it appears Cole has developed car sickness since the summer. Ugh.  The drive was so long! However, it was worth it in the end and we had a wonderful time relaxing in an amazing little chalet, enjoying the snow, sitting in the hot tub, sledding and skating!  Couldn't have asked for more fun!  A stop at our favorite in Mt. Hood - El burro loco! A glass of wine after our 6 hour road trip turned into 10 hours due to car sickness!  Right before our Owl Walk.  We were told we could walk into the wood and hear the owls. What a bust!  3 cold and tired kids in the dark woods and no owls!  It's now a running joke in our home as the  tour guide kept 'hooting' trying to draw the owl's attention.  If we want someone's attention in the house we often hoot at each other now...

Packing for 2010

We have started collecting our Olympic gear in preparation for our trip up to Vancouver this weekend! The last Olympics we attended were the Calgary '88 games (Drew even preformed in the opening ceremonies) and we can't wait to be back on Canadian soil celebrating the big event again. Even though Sam is too young to really appreciate the Olympics, we are excited to show him the sights and get lots of pictures so he can look back and hear some good stories. At this point, our gear is ready and the funny thing is Sam has the most Olympic stuff out of any of us! Our family has worked hard to make sure that Sam gets a little piece of Canada even though he is not living there. We know that if Sam grows up in the USA, no one will need to teach him to enjoy his country, but since Canada is so much a part of us, we want to make sure he learns about that bit of him too! So in a few days we will head North and cheer for the home team. However, maybe we do need to get a little piec...
