HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Karst'!

 We love ya.

Relationships

Over the 4th of July weekend we had a family reunion with my side of the family tree.  It was awesome.  It was in Sun River.  It was warm.  I took NO pictures.  I am lame.

Kim's family came back to Eugene with us for a couple of days.  They caught a flight at the crack of dawn.  It was fun.  It was awesome.  I am fatter because of them.  I did take one picture of them playing the Wii.  I am lame.

I am not sure who is doing the correct dance moves, but I am guessing Langdon or Jace.

Lazy Days of Summer

While we hadn't actually planned it -- we took a whole month off from blogging.  It's not that we haven't been up to anything -- I built a new home theater PC to replace our Tivo in the AV cabinet (recording two TV shows at the same time just wasn't enough -- we must record four shows at once!) and Melis' built some more fencing before gearing up for the first of three bathroom remodels.  The kids have been enjoying the warmer weather.

Eventually we'll return to our normal blogging schedule -- but for now we invite you to look at the excellent sports photography presented by Teresa's Neighbor.

Gleneden Beach

It seems like just a few weeks ago, we were taking Langdon on his first visit to the Oregon Coast.  This month we rejoined the rest of the Stoddard clan at Gleneden Beach (south of Lincoln City) to play in the surf and remind ourselves that our little stretch of the Pacific is friggin' freezing!
