Visitors From Down Under

Phil's sister and company came all the way from Australia to see family and this was their first time to see us in Portland. All the other times that they've been out we've gone down to Cali to see them, so this was an extra special treat!

Making glutten free cookies

We had a great time despite a nasty little 2-day stomach bug that went through each and every one of us. The boys seemed the least affected by it and only got a runny nose...the rest of us got a combination of 2-3 of the following symptoms: fever, body aches, diarrhea, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting. Sounds awful right? Somehow we still managed to do everything we planned except our visitors didn't get to leave on the day planned. At least we got an extra day with everyone!
