It's been forever...

I am finally making a post since summer ended and school started.  Laura: beyond tired but very well.  We are at her last chemo for a while in Portland right now.  I'm going to go through the family in absolutely no order of significance:

Mia- so so happy she has a play mate!  Mia and Louis spend a lot of time making noise and playing!  Their favorite game is chase.  Or as Louis thinks "run like hell."

Ani: Occidental College is amazing!  Lots of work; lots of fun; new people and really stepping out!  Loves the wicked hot weather!

Tim: cross country is amazing!  He did great in the first meet- the Ultimook Challenge and finished a couple of minutes faster than he did last year. Good classes including welding at our local community college.

Jon:  while I love my summer. I am suprised by how much I love my job!  Wonderful crop of seniors to work with and so good to see all my teacher friends.  Camped in Knappa and have had some great bike rides!  Oh and my garden is doing super as long as I water it!  No rain in Astoria in about for ever!

Louis: the shit eating puppy. He is evil and we love him so so much!  House broke you might ask? No!  Does he poop in the house and then eat some of it?  Yes. He is horrid. He humps anything. He bites and pees once let inside again. However the word soft is derived from him. He loves us and we love him!

Laura: see her blog!  She is good yet tired...  Doing yoga and walking most days. The pool is open again after 2 weeks  annual cleaning so she is swimming too.  She is also working on an article for
our local paper on metastatic breast cancer for October.
