Daniel had his first sleep over at Grandma and Grandpa's house and when I came in to pick him up, we stopped off at the zoo to meet our friends April and Zachary. We are so thankful for our friends in Portland.
This photo makes me laugh because Daniel was in a "mood" and I was trying to make him smile so I could get a good photo with him and the elephant. You have to look hard to see the elephant, and the smile! Can you see Zack's little eyes in the corner?
The weather here has been gray and a little dreary (no surprise there) so we have been spending a lot of time indoors. In this time, I have learned how to make socks! I am very proud of these Italian socks! I think Daniel likes them, too.
Don's birthday was also this month, and I learned how to make an apple pie, which is his favorite. I am begining to feel like the Beav's mom!
Some other noteable things have been happening as well: we are in the process of purchasing of the house we have been renting. It has been tricky, since we have gone down to one income, and still own our old home in Milwaukie (which is being rented out) but I think we will be the proud owners of a home at the coast sometime next week.
I am getting asked a lot about Don's health. He is doing well. In fact, if we did not know better, we would not have any suspicions of a problem. We are continuing to visit with multiple physicians and get multiple reports of what, if anything, should be done to prevent another problem. We plan to have an angiogram of his brain sometime soon. We are continually reminded of God's Grace as we move through this situation.
