We went to see Drum Tao in Portland. This great Japanese drumming troupe. So much energy and power...very loud but very fun!
We invited Nozomi to join us. He is the other AFS exchange student from Japan in our area. He and Saki both agreed it was a great show:)
A bit late but I was able to have my birthday lunch with a great group of friends:) We ate at a yummy Indian place in downtown Hillsboro.
That same day I met up with another group of friends for ice cream at Salt and Straw. I'm so lucky to have so many people around me that love and support me:)
We found a perfect sunny day to launch the Skinny Dan for the year. Time to get back out sailing!
Raising the mast is always a bit tricky but we managed to pull it off once again:)
The Easter Bunny left some treats for the kids
Katrina hosted an Easter egg hunt in her backyard. This was the first hunt for Saki AND Stevie:)
The "golden eggs" always have money inside $$
Beautiful blossoms on a bike ride with friends on the Banks/Vernonia trail
Another day, another bike ride. My friend Robin has a goal to ride the entire Banks/Vernonia trail out and back by the end of summer. That's 42 miles:)
Saki got her ears pierced!
One Sunday morning Hyrum and I got some urgent texts asking Hyrum to play music for Sacrament meeting THAT day! Needless to say it was a stressful morning and Hyrum wasn't too happy to be put on the spot but in the end everything turned out great. He played the piano instead of the organ but it was fabulous and Saki even offered to help with one of the hymns with her violin. In the end it was a beautiful music filled service.
We went with the Doxey's to see the amazing Yo-Yo Ma perform in concert. What a treat.
Saki decided to run track. She loved being with her cross country friends again and having the chance to run after school every day
It was going to be a beautiful day on the coast so Emerson joined us on a quick trip to Tillamook. It was so nice to spend time with him all day
The elusive "roof duck" Every once in a while we are on a walk and we see a duck on top of a roof. It's pretty rare so we always think it's great when we see one
Sherry, Robin and I had a wonderful walk around the Portland rhododendron garden
Out for a walk with Stevie girl
What a great start to a beautiful Spring here in Oregon. I am truly blessed to live in such a lovely place and be surrounded by friends that want to share in adventures with me. It has been great having the twins take turns coming home on the weekends so we can spend some time with each of them individually.
