A Trip to Salem, Oregon







We left on Friday for Oregon and came home Monday. Patti and Mike (Paul's youngest son) live in Salem with their two boys -- Keaton and Sullivan.

We had a great time getting reaquainted with the boys and seeing them so much more grown up. Keaton is now in first grade. He also plays soccer. Sully goes parttime to preschool.

The weather was beautiful. We left from a hot, dry 90 degrees to cool, pleasant 60 degree weather. The leaves were changing colors. Mike and Patti have a backyard with many tall, leafy trees in back that give them privacy and also a sense of being in a forest.

You can see in a few of the pictures above that Patti is patient and talented when it come to putting together complicated Lego sets. We brought the boys the legos and then Patti spent time (with the boys' help) making the pieces come alive.

Thanks to Patti and Mike for their hospitality. They have such a loving family. The boys are lucky to have such caring and devoted parents!
