Our third snow day in a week! Wow. We got the call at 5:30, which allowed Scott to actually sleep in. Heather's internship was also canceled for a second day in a row. We played more cribbage, went to see Charlotte’s Web at the Moonlight Theater, and got a new sink! Our maintenance guy came to replace it on the absolutely perfect day, both of us were home. He also gave Heather a few tips on playing the accordion. Turns out he took accordion lessons when he was younger. What a beautiful snow day.

Wow, another snow day! We weren't expecting this on the Tuesday after Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Scott got the call at 6:45 and it completely caught us off guard. Heather also received a call from her supervisor saying her internship was canceled for the day. So we get another day together! As we enjoy the day at home decluttering our apartment, we look outside as the snow comes pouring down. What a wonderful weekend. Two snow days in less than a week. Unfortunately this will be hard on Scott as far as lesson planning goes. Now he only has 5 full days before finals to get his students ready. Hope you are safe and blessed wherever you're at.

On Thursday morning January 11, 2007 we were blessed with a wonderful snow day! Scott woke up at 5:30, his normal time to get ready for work. At 6:30 he received a phone call that the school was on a 2 hour late start! He used that time to finish some grading and make his lunch. When it was light enough, he looked outside and saw a fresh blanket of snow and more coming down! He went online and checked the reports, and sure enough McMinnville School District- Closed. He ran into the bedroom waking up Heather saying, "You've got to see this!" This is a huge blessing, because Heather just finished up the last of her paperwork and projects for Marylhurst the previous day, and those items have been causing alot of stress recently. We were able to enjoy the snow day together, playing outside and creating our snowman "Sam" (Scott was the creative one who came up with the name). Yay for snow, it's a beautiful day, walking in a winter wonderland. To see more photos click here.

Heather's big Christmas present this year was a trip to Disneyland! In September she told Scott this is what she wanted, not realizing that it would become a reality. We left early Sunday December 17, and spent Tuesday-Thursday December 19-21 at Disneyland and California Adventure. What a fun time. We got to break in "Cam" our new 2002 Toyota Camry for the trip. We had fun experiences and mishaps, and hopefully we'll post more soon. But for now, here are some pictures of Disneyland! Click here to see the album.

On Sunday, October 8th we drove out to Hood River with the McCarthy family. There, we wandered through a corn maze, walked through a pumpkin patch, drank home brewed root beer, sampled and bought fresh apples, and spent time with wonderful friends. What a fun day! The Sunday drive was also a fun outing in our new 2002 Toyota Camry. To see more photos click here.

A day at the tulip fields in Woodburn with Beth, Andrea, and Gavin. Beautiful flowers!

Picture Perfect Scene. After our time in Europe, we had a chance for some R&R at Lost Lake. We had a wonderful time as we hung out by the lake, hiked around the lake, and enjoyed the view of Mt. Hood. This camping trip allowed some much needed rest and "us" time.

A kiss captured in Puerto Penasco, Mexico. This was at Beth and Thomas' wedding (Heather's sister and now brother-in-law). Heather was the maid of honor and Scott was the husband tag-a-long. We had fun spending time Andrea and Gavin (our niece and nephew).

Here is a picture of us in LeDay, Switzerland. It was a small stop on our way from Bern to LeBrausses to visit Heather's relatives. We had a wonderful time in Valley de Joux and would love to go there again next summer.
