Holidays 2021
With flights being so cheap from EUG to PDX, we decided to make the main Christmas gift this year a trip to Los Angeles. We left on the 26th and took Josef to Santa Monica so he could see his … Continue reading
Fall 2021
Josef started 4th grade in September. I always remembered that as one of my favorite school years, and I hope it is similarly memorable for him. To celebrate a modest return to normalcy (i.e. actually gathering together in groups again) … Continue reading
Oregon Coast Hike

Portugal 2019
As soon as tax season wound down, we rewarded ourselves with a trip to visit Auntie Janet in Portugal. Getting there is quite the slog! We had to leave our home around 4am, take 3 planes, and didn’t arrive at … Continue reading
Yucatan Adventure
Here are a bunch of photos from our trip to Mexico in November. Unfortunately WordPress has updated their user interface and I’m not presently inclined to learn how to use it–thus the pictures are presented in completely random order with … Continue reading

Summer 2017
The MUCH anticipated summer finally arrived, and as usual was kicked off with a big family camping trip on the Breitenbush River. This year Josef really developed into a rugged little explorer, and you can imagine my delight at his … Continue reading
Spring 2017
I am happy to say that our family made it through the first full-blown tax season with flying colors. Rachael and Josef were such champs; so good-natured and supportive while I was gone for so much of the spring. The … Continue reading
