Or close to it… To commemorate B’s last day of vacation, we took a drive down to Multnomah Falls, 30 minutes West of our town. It was a gorgeous day at Oregon’s top tourist destination! See for yourself:
We’re working in the garden this morning… Here are some pix from last Sunday’s work – my mother’s day gift and this morning’s efforts:

To (mis)quote Paul Anka – Now I know, I know that it’s true!
Here’s an attempt to show you what’s been happening the past 3 months! It seems like just yesterday little DP turned 4; we’ve seen a lot of changes – she’s really a big kid and very fun to have conversations with and it’s awesome explore this world around us!
A has been very busy with the winegrowers as winter turned to spring – getting the group ready for the big Passport weekend in April. Design, Printing, Distribution of the booklets were done by mid-March and then we had Taste Washington in Seattle at the end of March and the Portland Grand Tasting, Passport Weekend and Celebration Event for Hospice all in one week! That same week it was announced that the group won a Oregon Tourism award, so the big week was capped off with a drive to Bend for A to accept it. We all had a great time, and it wouldn’t have been possible to pull together without B’s time, love & support. Here are some photos from that part of our life this year:
Portland Tasting
Blossoms at Mt. Hood Winery
Travel Oregon Award Ceremony
B has been pretty busy too – Full Sail keeps him hopping. During his time off, he took advantage of an exceptionally sunny March weekend to tear-out the old hot tub and start filling in the hole. It was an amazing feat that took only a few hours – about 2 weeks shorter than we thought the project would last! We’ve been enjoying the sunny weekends and have just a few finishing touches to mark the backyard redo ‘DONE’ for the season. Here’s some fun pix of the demo!

Bye-bye hot tub!

If this were a library book, we wouldn’t be able to pay the fine! Just a quick post with a cute picture!
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Did you know that a 4-year-old’s birthday celebration lasts for 4 days? This one did. We insist she’s not spoiled – she just doesn’t want to give up on a good thing. Here are some pictures from the past weekend!
Wow – what a short 4 years! I think these photos sum up the fun day we had!
we took advantage of a day without rain for a little bike ride. she did great, stopping by herself & getting going again without much power assist!
Hope that you are having a warm and lovely Christmas morning. We were up at 6 AM to see what Santa had brought while we were sleeping. The jolly old elf ate 5 cookies & 10 spiced nuts, drank a glass of milk & dropped of a few goodies! Merry Christmas to you from the Brennans!
Without further ado – I give you Santa Photo 2009…
Merry Christmas!
We had another fun holiday weekend – this time with Cha-Cha & Papa! Also, we got a photo from Santa’s visit to school… still no “official” santa photos, but maybe today!
