Countdown to trip back home: 6 days

We are getting ready for our 3rd trip back down to CA this year. Exciting for us since up until January we hadn't even been home since we moved up here in June '04. We are excited to come and see everyone and finally meet Shayley who is due to arrive here any day now as well as spend some time with family and friends we hardly get to see.

Anyway, life up here in Portland is rainy!!!!! It's fantastic! Yesterday, it seemed the city would drown the way people were calling into 911 to report standing water and stalled vehicles and today should be the same fun as it has been pouring pretty much all day. For a city with a lot of rain, they don't seem to prepare very well and all the drains were blocked and creating mini flash floods. Sigh....

We got our pictures of Belly and Halloween back and here are some for your viewing enjoyment. This was her first year that she was actually excited by the thought of Halloween and even picked out what she wanted to be for Halloween. She is already talking about Santa Claus, Christmas trees and presents so this year should be a blast.

Send us an email or a post back. I don't think you have to join a blog to post a comment, I'll test that out before I submit this one for publication.

Hope everybody is doing ok!
