We celebrated our wedding anniversary a little early this year. We went to see a dance performance in downtown Portland. And then went out to lunch at the historic Heathman Hotel. I chowed down on oysters, mussels and crab cake. Emily had pasta, salad and exotic cheeses.
We just finished a month of parent training. We took the class Love and Logic Parenting hosted by our adoption agency. We learned amazing information that will help us be better parents. Here is the website, in case you want to know more: loveandlogic.com
We also finished the exhausting 121 questionnaire, which is part of the adoption application process. What a relief to get that finished.
We moved into our new home today. A three bedroom town home in a nice established neighborhood with lot of sidewalks and a playground. We are also near a walking trail and creek. The back “yard” is a 24 x 20 foot patio that gets sun all day long. So much different from the last place. This one gets almost too much light. I am looking forward to creating a “secret garden”. Well, I need to go get the kitchen unpacked and then I am off to Lowes!
We are just about finished packing and ready to move. I can’t believe we lived here for 5 years. It is the longest Jeff and I have lived in one place since 1992!
We had a wonderful Sunday brunch with our friends Kristen and Mac. We had a nice spread of spinach quiche, herbed potatoes, bacon and cherry turnovers. Oh, did I mention we had bacon and um also bacon. I live with a vegetarian, so bacon is very rare treat. We worked off our meal with a walk to the park to watch the kids play on the jungle gyms. Ok, we played on the playground as well, but we didn’t have fun.
