This is our first post on our blog. Several people shared their blogs with us and Edie became intrigued by being able to share pictures and happenings so easily. So, here we are.

What's going on with us? We finally got the house back to normal from the holidays. (Thank you, Mom/Linda!) Edie will be decorating for Valentine's Day next.

Last year about this time, we found a new event that we enjoy watching - indoor Lacrosse. Portland has a professional indoor Lacrosse team - the Lumberjax. We bought season tickets for this year. We have gone to 2 games so far and have 6 more to go to. The Jax play Edmonton Friday night. They played at Edmonton last Friday and lost 11 to 10 after a 14 to 5 win over Colorado the Saturday before. Go Jax!

Sunday (1/18) was the anniversary of our first date 9 years ago. We didn't do anything special this year unless you count cleaning the house. :)

The weather has improved greatly over what it was a month ago. It's cold at night and in the morning, but clear and sunny in the afternoon. I'll take the cold as long as we can have some sunshine for awhile. Hopefully we're done with snow for the winter.

Tomorrow is Inauguration Day. It will be very interesting to see what the next 4 years hold.
