What have we been doing – I guess we are just trying to get by day by day. Since I last posted we have had holidays which involved a visit from my daughter and her family for Thanksgiving, our son Michael drove down from the Seattle Washington area to visit with us and when he arrived he had an extra passenger in the car, our son Samuel flew from Utah to Seattle to drive down to Portland to visit with us for Thanksgiving. That made all our living children in Portland for Thanksgiving time, what a treat. The only real down side was Sam was involved in a traffic accident while driving Michaels car. Luckily, Sam was not injured but Michaels car was totaled.
Christmas brought Sam a quick flight to Portland – he got here on the Monday before Christmas and he had to fly out on Christmas morning. Quick but neat trip. I enjoyed having Sam here even for the short time. Phillip, Michael, and Sam figured out how to allow Michael to see us celebrate Christmas from a computer in the living room in Portland Oregon to a computer in Mikes new home in Renton Washington. What an experience that was. We do not have much in the way of pictures for our Christmas as a result.
Tanya and her family had Christmas in Idaho, I think it must have been wonderful and I am most grateful for her diligence in posting pictures and text on her blog about her holidays. She has also posted some things on Facebook that help us enjoy her life away from us.
Hallie has turned 1 year old in January and Tanya did an excellent job of showing her life through the blog at www.berretandtanya.blogspot.com -- There are some amazing pictures of the event and so much fun to see. Tanya’s blog chronicles the growth of Hallie through pictures and text. She has a nice set of monthly progress pictures and lists of achievements.
January also brought the loss of Don’s job and we are now in the process of trying to figure out how we are going to maintain our lives. The challenges are ahead and we look forward to learning new things.
