Merry Christmas

It is 5:12am and Santa has long since past. He made it by as is always does.
We are headed for California today. We drive up to Portland to catch a flight to San Jose, CA. We then drive to Santa Cruz to see Jane's Aunt Barb and Uncle Jay. My parents and brother will be there as will Jane's sister and nephew. And Thursday, we head south to Santa Barbara, where we will spend three nights. We are not taking any computer, so there will be no postings until next week. We shot a quick video of Sofia trying to help pack (more like unpack) last night. She had a blast with it.

I hope all of you have a good Christmas.

Cast Footage

She is back and already crawling around!!

Brush Away

Here she is in action

Merry Xmas

We had a great weekend. Sofia has been great through the injury. We took her to see Aunt Shelli and the rest of the family over the weekend. We had a nice time in Bandon. Sofia got to see a great Christmas lights display and her cousins, which she always likes. Her favorite part was the trip into Cranberry Sweets, where she loved all the free samples:)



Sofia gets her cast at 10 this morning. Later on, we have to pack and get ready for the big trip to California. We fly into San Jose tomorrow morning and will spend 2 nights in Santa Cruz. From there we will drive to Santa Barbara and spend 3 nights there. It will be alot of fun and we will certain have some warmer weather!

She is a trooper--We have an appointment Monday at 10am to get her cast on.

Yes it is broken

Sofia is ok. She took a fall down some stairs yesterday afternoon, which resulted in a broken leg. We took her in last night and she got a split on her left leg. We have to call this specific doctor this morning to get an appointment to get a cast on her leg. She should have to wear the cast for a month or so......FUN STUFF!!!

We got home towards 12 last night and got her to bed. She is still asleep now, but has a tough time sleeping.

I will get and update up later today.

Video is here!!

Well, I finally made it happen. I searched high and low for the CD today that had the driver for the camcorder to be able to download video to the computer. And now we can share video with all of you.

Here is a quick one, it is nothing fancy. I will sort through what I have and share more shortly. The video shown is from August 10th---so it was taken over 4 months ago

7 more days!!!!

For those who are out of the loop--there are very few days remaining until the birthday of someone very special.

We survived the big move over the weekend and made it in one piece. Well, make that about 1000 pieces. We filled up 2 of Uhaul's biggest size trucks-the 26 footer. It took 7 hours to unload both trucks.

We are staying at Jane's parents for a while as we do some work at the new house. Sofia has been a trooper through all of this as she has not noticed much of the chaos going on around her. She is definitely ready to help unpack, as she loves to pull anything out of any boxes.

Hello Eugene!

As some of you may now, we are in the moving process. Well, today and tomorrow we are actually moving. The moving trucks are coming today and we are driving them to Eugene tomorrow morning.

Right now, the house is turned upside down with most it packed up. We had our last dinner in Vancouver last night and we had to eat out as there is no food,silverware, or anything left in the kitchen. Below, you can see the extent of our Xmas decorating for 2007. We will make up for it next year.

Sofia is doing great and moving around more than ever. She has also begun to enjoy writing/drawing. She know what a pen or crayon is for. She colored for the 1st time at dinner and seemed to like it quite a bit.

Tis the Packing Season

As some of you may know, we are in the middle of moving right now. Simply put, it is awful. But we are making the best of it and Sofia is fine tuning her unpacking skills:)

Anyway--the house it torn apart as we are hoping the the big move south takes place this upcoming weekend.

Hole in Nose

Here are a few pix from the weekend. Sofia has discovered something quite magical......she has a hole in her nose.
She noticed it a few weeks back, but the interest really did not kick in till the last few days. We seems to be catching her "exploring" with her finger and she enjoys the fact she found a new thing to play with.

Apologies

Sorry for the lack of updates/pictures from us. We have been busy between Vancouver and Eugene. We are in the process of moving and things are moving at a snail's pace.

For those of you wondering about the greatest baby ever, she is doing fantastic. As i type I can hear her walking and laughing upstairs. She seems to grow, smile, and laugh more with each day that passes. We are very luck that we have been blessed with such a gift.

We are doing a picture session this Sunday with her and we are hoping the weather cooperates. The setting is the same outdoor park area that Jane and I had our engagement photos done back in 2003.

I hope all of you are well. I will get more up as soon as I can.
