Nothing groundbreaking to report, but have really enjoyed reading everyone's blogs...

Today was a fun day. Dave had to work, but the boys got to go see King Kong with PaPa and really loved that. Thanks, PaPa! That left us girls to fend for ourselves, so what did we do...? Why, shopping and lunch, of course! Brooke and I hit some January sales, bought some of the same stuff (we'll be on different continents all too soon), and had lunch at Chevy's. Very fun afternoon. I'll sure miss Brooke when she is travelling the world, but I'm so happy for all of them.

Dave has a new calling...assistant Webelos leader. He'll do a great job. He takes off on Thursday night to go to Utah for some laser training. While there, he'll visit a friend from dental school and also my brother in Provo...and catch a glimpse of his secret girlfriend, Katelyn. :) Then he has his ortho course on Sunday and Monday. Always busy and always working toward making the practice a success.

Marnie -we will look for the package. Thanks! Parker's birthday is Monday. There is a restaurant here in Washougal called Parker House that opened recently - steak and seafood place on the river. Anyway - Parker thinks it is his house, so we are taking him there for dinner. (For those of you joining us, the reservations are for Monday, the 23rd at 6 pm.)

Brent & Buffy - can't wait until you are here so we can play! Congrats on the job - Brooke and I will still like you, even though we can't use your discount. Of course, you could always buy us "gifts", and we can pay you for them! :)

Have a safe trip home, Barb. Give all those Stinchies in Cleveland a big hug for us. Everyone else - be safe and blog away!
