Well, when snow hits the Portland metro area, it seems that the city shuts down. Cara spent a total of 5 hours playing in the 22 degree (11 windchill) Winter Wonderland.

As for xmas lists, mine hasn't changed much. I would be happy with a night off, cooking classes, concert tickets, a weekend getaway, jewelery, new daily silverware (I hate ours) a dishwasher that is quieter, I think just a morning sleeping in would be key.

Madisons list is on Amazon.com. Found here She also would love a cooking class from In Good Taste.

Cara also has an Amazon.com wishlist. She would like american girl doll clothes and items (Doesn't have to be that brand). Found Here.

Many changes are in the air,, including Madison getting braces!

Madison is also done with Soccer and has a video out on youtube:

Cara is doing great as well. We had our family photos done and here a few of my favorites:

We went home to visit old friends and had a great time with Margaret.

Here is a photo of our neighbor Greg, Denise, Madge and I at the party. We also got our family portraits back.

You can find more photos in my Gallery. Please take a look and vote on your favorite for xmas.

Madi has been collecting wine corks for the last 3 years and Tim and her finally created a cork board for her room and the kitchen. I just wanted to show off their work, since its been a project in the making for years.

The last Timbers game was pretty fun. We were ahead until we got a red card part way through the game. Here is Madi with her friend at the game. They had a great time getting signatures and buying soda!

Other news. Madison had her second game this weekend. I think the girls worked really hard, but lost. Oh well. Maybe next week.

Will need to get a better photo next week! As many of you know, both Madi and Cara are selling lots of things to raise money. Most things I just donate cash to the cause so please don't feel hurt if she hasn't contacted you.

Tim got us tickets tonight to the Vampire weekend concert. He first heard them on Morning Becomes Eclectic. They are pretty good. Give it a listen. Press the play button.

LaborDay was spent in the garden digging up the potatoes we planted before the summer. I believe we ended up with 22 pounds of Potatoes. (Our biggest crop so far). I think that we are finally getting a lot of the clay we had four years ago when we moved in!

Our first time to Hawaii we chose to go visit my aunt in Kauai. We had a wonderful time in Poipu and are ready to go back, time permitting.

Our friends Scott and Charlotte joined us there. We got in a good hike in Waimea Canyon and Tim got surfing lessons. I was pretty bummed not to be able to surf with this silly broken ankle. Oh well, guess we will have to go back! Here is a photo of Tim, Scott, and Charlotte.

We made it to the last Timber Jim game! I really like that we have a mascot that is a real person. Timber Jim gave it his all! We absolutely enjoyed his spirit and the energy that he brought to every game. I am truely glad that we are keeping the legacy of a real person as a mascot!
