This afternoon, our kids banished Suzi and me from our house. All we were told is they were preparing an early anniversary celebration for us, could we stay away until after 5? Our course!
We returned to find a sign on the door announcing we had arrived at Chez Logan. Inside, nicely dressed wait staff [...]

Our Anniversary Celebration
Happy Birthday, Jamison!
“Happy Birthday!” continues to be Jamison’s preferred greeting, even a year later. It’s Jamison’s emotional dipstick for me. If I’m feeling good, he knows I’ll respond with “Merry Christmas!” and I’ll get an, “Ooooooooh!” in return. Games dads and sons play. :-)
Today, though, there’s one important difference: it actually is Jamison’s birthday. So the roles [...]
Off to Walla Walla
View Larger Map
Yesterday was a busy day. We loaded the rental truck, drove to Walla Walla with Ashley, ran the gauntlet of financial clearance and village life, unloaded the truck, and set up some furniture. Much thanks to FIL and Ron for helping haul the furniture up the stairs to the second floor apartment. When [...]
Family Fun at the Corn Maze

We enjoyed our last weekend before Ashley and Heather head off to college by going to Sauvie Island and attempting the corn maze.
Looking at the overhead photo, it shouldn’t have been very hard. Ha! Actually, looking at the picture (below, the Google Map above currently shows a prior year’s maze) a little [...]
First Day of School
Once again, the first day of school is upon us. Time for the ritualistic “first day of school picture” taken on the front lawn before the the Japanese maple tree.
And the ritualistic posting of it here. :-)

This last weekend, we took a brief family camping vacation to Mt. Rainier. This is the first we’ve been to Mt. Rainier National Park even though we’ve lived in the Great Northwet (yup) since ‘87. We’re already planning our next trip to the mountain. In fact, we [...]
Happy Birthday, Heather

We’ve done this before.
Holiday E-Mail to Willy
Dear Willy,
We are so happy to have another Logan boy in our home over the holidays. We will be heading into the hills to cut a Christmas tree and then decorate it. We can also go to zoo lights to hear Melissa sing, eat, watch the Christmas ships on the waterfront, make puzzles, eat, play [...]
Happy Birthday, Jamison!
“Happy Birthday” has been Jamison’s preferred greeting for months. Maybe he thought we would forget his birthday was soon approaching. No chance of that!
We celebrated Jamison’s birthday in traditional Logan style: multiple days of friends, family, and fun. Earlier this week, Jamison and a few friends visited the corn maze on Sauvie Island. Yesterday we [...]
Champoeg Bike Ride

When the weather is nice in October, we go outside. Thanks to Art and his invitation to ride bikes with his family, we invaded Champoeg Park this afternoon. We biked from the western end of the park to the store beyond the eastern end and back. According to Google Maps, the one-way distance [...]
