Jack : 11 months

On Saturday we went to the park to play. The sky was so blue and the air was crisp and clean. Here are some of my favorite shots. More to come soon.

We can’t believe that Jack is already 11 months. They say time flies when you’re having fun. Definitely true! Being a parent is so rewarding. Especially at this age when Jack is starting to want to play with his toys not just chew on them. And he wants to play with us all the time. He officially starting walking at 10 month and by 10 ½ was cruzing. He loves animals. We went to the park this weekend to see the ducks and the birds and he practically tried to jump in the pond so he could touch the ducks. Plus he loves to explore. All boy!

French Students

Pierre and Clo came to stay with us last week. They are college students from Strausburg studying business and English in the US for 3 months. It has been so enjoyable to get to know them and it promises to make our house and lives very full over the next few months. Mike has been cooking many of his favorite French dishes for them. We spent MLK day at Multnomah Falls and driving along the gorge.

Pierre and Clo are on the left and Camile is their French friend on the right. I was windy up at Crown Point. But still a beautiful winter view.

Introducing my new blog

For awhile now I've been pondering starting a career advice blog. As my New Years resolution I have finally done it. Check it out. It will be totally work related and different than my personal blog. Super Exciting!
