Okay, so I really need to make or carve time out of my week to update this as I've once again fallen into what Duke refers to as the Facebook black hole....

Gannon is in Southern California this week with his Nana, Papa and Cousin Lexi and having a grand time!  We miss him a LOT...I just wonder if this is how we will feel when he leaves for college?????  But it has been awfully quiet around here and not having him around kind of messed up our routine.  Then again, we aren't sure how things will be once he is back since he is also out of school.  I do start coaching his soccer team tonight (gawd help me!), so that will be interesting - I'm hoping that there are some really good players that can keep up with Gannon, but we will see.  The only way we could get him onto the 7-8 year old team is if I coached...

Here are some photos from the past few months that I wanted to share...

I have to admit that living in the Tri-Cities, we definitely see more interesting weather - such as these thunder/rain clouds!  Oddly enough, if it rains where we live, sometimes it doesn't where my parents live, which is 15 minutes north of us!  So bizarre....

Gannon's first science fair...Ear Wax...kind of cool, kind of gross...but he was one of only 3 kindergarten kids that participated so it was a good experience for him!

Thank goodness for corners everywhere - time out!

Duke really liked this statue at OHSU...lol...

Thanks to Grampy for taking Gannon to the zoo...

At OHSU, and finding out then that Duke would need surgery on his knee again...

Visited our other good friend, Sheri, Aric and Brayden...miss you guys!

With luck, we planned our trip the same time Jeffrey had his 5th birthday party...and I got to spend time with my good friends Cindy and Yaqin!

Visiting Gannon's newly annointed Godparents, Kevin & Tracie!

In town for our monthly check-up, so we stayed with Uncle Nick and Aunt Kelley and visited with Nana & Papa...

Getting his haircut professionally for the first time in YEARS!  And he didn't scream! :)

Visiting my brother and his family - they rarely take or post any photos of Gannon with the boys, so I need to take as many as I can to post for your viewing pleasure as we love our little nephews!

Our pups!

Pulling weeds, my least favorite thing to do..

Gannon's year-end school party at this local pizza joint...they each got to make their own pizza!

Wow, I can't believe how much has changed since we moved in...
