David's Fourth Birthday Party

Last weekend at the Portland Highland Festival

David got the chance to play in the kids games and got a gold medal! What he didn't realize...all the other kids got gold medals too. What he doesn't know won't kill him. :-)

I've never seen so many manly men in "kilts" together at one time.

Alison and I just hanging out while David played his games.

My new office during the transformation

I didn't take any before pictures, but the transformation has been pretty amazing. Here are a few pictures of the work in progress....

There will be more pictures next week of the finished product, so keep your eyes open

some of my favorite pictures of the kids

Playgrounds and Backyards

Boy have we had fun now that the sun has finally decided to make its appearance and stay for a while. Every chance we get we are playing at a park or in the back yard having fun. I am so glad it is finally summer. There are so many more things to do now to keep the kiddos occupied.

More news on the business front. I have finally signed a lease agreement for my very own office. No more sharing with other doctors! I will finally be on my own and have my own employees to keep track of. We are in the process of getting all of the "permits and fees" taken care of so that I may start to see patients there by the middle of July. There is a little painting that needs to be done, and we still have to move all of my stuff in, but that should only take a week or so to do. Once it is all said and done, I will post pictures of my new place for all to see ...so keep your eyes peeled over the next few weeks.

Playing at Salmon Creek Elementary School

We've been trying to have fun despite the nasty winter weather we have been having this month. The news station has officially termed this month Juneuary. I don't think we've had more than 2 days without rain and above 65 degrees. What a boring summer this is going to be if it keeps up.

Every chance we get we are outside with the kids, and here are a few pictures to prove it.

Another weekend of fun.

We spent most of Sunday at the Oregon Zoo with our friend Abbie and her daughter Maddie. We had lots of fun just hanging out and enjoying a rain free day. No sun, no rain = fun! The day was perfect. We took lots of pictures, walked alot, and fed the female Peacock. David calls them...peahawks. We also spent Saturday at one of my patients farms that they are slowly turning into a retreat/ Wedding/ Party property. They have done a great job in their first phase (year) of a five year project. They too had peacocks, but they had one I had never seen before. Have you ever seen an albino peacock? Me neither, until this weekend. Talk about beautiful!
