Spring Break

It's here. And although it's cold enough to see your breath in the morning, JH and I took our first bike ride of spring yesterday. We saw this:



I had to have a closer look to make sure it wasn't just set dressing. It's been mighty chilly here and I had a hard time believing my eyes, but it was real



We rode and rode, into our little downtown, stopping at Starbucks to get a coffee and a cookie, then raced around the park a few times. Joe-Henry had me laughing so hard at his attempts to fake me out so he could win the race. Thank goodness he's a terrible liar.

On the way home we stopped at Officer's Row, because as Joe-Henry said, "Mom, all this green, green grass is just ASKING for us to lay down in it!" So we did. But not before he did some "meditating". I think the helmet makes him look extra-zen.



We'll be on spring break starting at 3:00 today. But not before I head to the radiologist to get another look at my left boob. They told me that my left breast had some density. Good thing they didn't look at my head! I'm honestly not worried, I promise. If there's any news, I'll let you know. We leave for California on Sunday (JH & I; Charley joins us on Wednesday) to visit the in-laws/grandparents, then it's off to Disneyland for two days, then home. I promise lots of pictures.

Happy Spring, all!

Summertime, summertime, sum sum summertime....

Considering that less than a month ago it was snowing, you'd think I'd be grateful for the sunshine. But it went from freezing cold, to chilly and raining to NINETY SIX DEGREES.

I'm half expecting the record snow on Mt. Hood to melt and drown us all in a few days.



Until then, though, we'll have to just keep cool the best way we know how.
