Wow - time has flown! Here is the latest... We finally sold the Newberg house after 2 years on the market. It was a bittersweet goodbye, but we needed a bit more space and yard for two rapidly growing boys. Problem was we didn't have a new house chosen yet, so we ended up in a tough situation looking for a rental with an unknown timeline of renting which makes it tough to sign a lease... Very lucky for us, Andy's grandfather's house was vacant as he and Claudia moved in to an assisted living facility recently. So, as of 2 weeks ago we are now Lake Oswego residents. This is a great neighborhood with several parks nearby and very friendly neighbors with lots of kids. The moving process has taken over our lives for several weeks (we still have some boxes that are not unpacked yet). We couldn't have made the move without the assistance of Grandma Jeanne, Papa Doug, Aaron (and Rhonda for sacrificing her husband for several days) and Adam - they were sure troopers dealing with all of our "stuff". We do have an offer in on a short sale in a town called Dundee (near Newberg) on a cool house with a half acre of property, but these type of sales can take anywhere from 2-10 months to hear back from the bank, so we will keep our eyes out for another house, but are crossing our fingers that this house will work out (quickly!).
Here are the boys in their new MN Twins shirts from grandma and grandpa! I took over 10 pictures of 2 squirrely boys and these were the best I could muster...
Today, we picked some raspberries at a local farm. Initally, Eli tried a raspberry and was not impressed, but later tried them again and we had a hard time stopping him from eating all of the berries from our buckets! Ben, of course, had a belly full of berries by the time we left.
Here are the boys doing their"Friday dance"...
