TVF&R

 I am so proud of you!  

Yesterday was the Welcome Ceremony for the 2011 Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue Volunteers.  It is a very competitive program that is recognized on a national level.  Many applicants have been applying for years, so we consider ourselves very blessed to have this opportunity so early on.  It will be ten weeks of academy training and then the volunteers are off to their assigned stations.  It has been months of waiting and now its here!  To say he will be busy is a huge understatement.

Carolina Blue





THANK YOU!

A surprise came in the mail today!  James got a very belated (and I got an early...) birthday present from our good friend RJ Stanford.  RJ is a former Corner for the University of Utah and was drafted by the Carolina Panthers.  We are huge super fans and will now be fitted out for every game.  Good luck Mr. Stanford!!

Tea Party



Thank you to the Wilkes who let us use their beautiful back patio 
& Sister Nees for sharing her charming china!  

Wednesday nights are spent with my girls.  The other night, the few of us who are in town, got together to sip tea (water) and discuss literature (talk about the latest Harry Potter movie... vote Team Jacob or Team Edward... compare the girl cast as Katniss, in the upcoming Hunger Games movie, to what we imagined...).  Such a civilized way to spend an evening.
