Kim, if nothing else, you did that. I got on the blog this morning and BANG, everybody blogged! Some by choice, some by force. Really, just enjoy the blog for what it is, a way for everybody to see what is going on in everyone's lives. Blog if you want, we would love to hear from you. Comment if you want, we would love to hear your comments. But, come on now, don't have a hissy-fit (I know, a strong term, but fits perfectly) over it. Kim, I am not singling you out on this one. This happened by other parties several times before, so have comfort in the fact that you are not alone (maybe it's just a girl thing, I'm gonna get nailed for that one, I know). RELAX people!

Sounds like y'all in Idaho are enjoying life and the cold. You would hate to hear that it is sunny and in the 50's here today, very nice. I know it probably isn't as warm as Sun Diego, Marnie, but it is a breath of fresh air out here. And Brent, you'll soon be able to cool down. We are anxious for your arrival, though we know we probably won't see much of you while you are busily being trained and commuting to Woodburn. It's too bad Brian and Paige don't still live in Tualatin (Sp?), you would be able to stop by occasionally and see them.

By the way Brian, I am going to run the Yakima Marathon on April 1st up there and guess where it ends? That's right, in Selah. So we will invade you for that weekend if you don't mind. Let us know if you have anyone else visiting that weekend so that we can make arrangements. Should be fun!

Went running this morning and pulled some dang muscle in my back. You know, the one's where if feels like the wind has been knocked out of you and you are kind of gasping for air in short little breaths because if you take a big breath it is kind of uncomfortable. Anyway, very uncomfortable, but it is slowly subsiding. I need to go take advantage of that massage that mom got me for Christmas. That would feel great about right now.

Isaac's guitar lessons are coming along well, mine too somewhat. We are both enjoying it. The boys are going to do a baseball camp for the 1 week during their 2 week spring break (they have "year round" school, so the have long vacations and a short summer break).

I have my new sign up and all. It looks great. It isn't as big as I thought it would be up there, but it is by far better than the old one. It is finally starting to feel like I am part of the practice. Yesterday at work I finally started seeing patients for second checkups, which is nice because you aren't always introducing yourself.

We are anxious for Mike's arrival and hope to be able to see him a lot. But, Brooke and the girls should have much more time than us with their husband/dad.

You are all missed and loved! Don't let lack of posts/comments get you all bent out of shape, just as I am sure each of you know, we all have busy lives and are unable to post/comment on something. Look at the visits to the site! Over 11,500 visits in one year! That's about 1000 a month, or about 33 visits a day, so you know your stuff is being read and looked at!

Love,
Dave
