Just when you think your kiddo is looking all grown up there is nothing like a first grade school concert to make you realize how little (and cute) your kid is. Sam had his first grade concert a couple weeks ago and it was just plain sweet. The kids all did a great job. They did a few songs together and then each class put on a little performance. Sam actually got to sub for an absent student so mom and dad got the extra pleasure of watching him "sashay" with Ms. Manning's class and sing Under the Sea with his class - Mrs. McDonalds. Well done Sam!
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...
