We finally hung our Quilt!

Staci made this beautiful quilt for our Wedding back in 2003. We have been working on hanging it up in our new house since we moved. Today we were motivated to get it done, even though it is hot in our house. Little by little we are getting settled in.

The Airshow and the beach

Last weekend Fode and I went to the Oregon International Airshow. It sounds fancy, but it was just at the Hillsboro Airport right down the street from our house. We drove to a parking lot near the runway and then hiked to the runway. We were cheap so we sat on the road outside the airport rather than paying $20 each to go inside. We figured that since everything was in the air we were close enough. Actually I think we were too close. We were at the end of the runway so the planes would fly by real close as they landed(pictures to come). It was a fun time, especially the Thunderbirds. We are enjoying getting to know our new city.

This weekend we are staying on the coast. I am gearing up for another year teaching 4th grade. Last week I worked like crazy to get my classroom ready. Friday I was in my classroom from 7:30 to 6:30. It looks like it is going to be a great year. I have 23 students (so far...keep your fingers crossed) and a student teacher. I decided that it would be great to get away this weekend to relax and get ready for the wild ride of the first month of school. We have had a lazy day and were surprised that there was no rain.
