WELCOME FAMILY & FRIENDS

To our friends and family that live afar......I thought this would be the best way to keep all of you included in our lives, so that you can see how Portland is treating us and to witness our children grow. We have been in Portland almost 7 years now and have enjoyed it so. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to view our blog, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy capturing these memorable moments.

Cheers - Ryan, Emilia, Nolan, Mila & Anya

Another day at the beach

We are not as lucky as most of our family and friends in sunny parts of the world.....so we take advantage of the sunny days and go to the beach for some fresh air and some fun in the sand. Here are some photos from April. Spring has come but the sun has decided to play tricks on us....we have only seen it a handful of times this month but both times it reached the 70's.

Mila is growing and slowly staring to show her tempermant...wow, I feel bad taking photos of her not so happy moments, but these will be great memories for when she is older. She is starting to understand a great deal, and her main response is "yeah" to everything. It's pretty amazing to see how much she looks up to brother. Nolan is having fun in preschool, and has made some close friends with whom he has playdates with. Spiderman, Superman, and Batman are the favorites at this point in time...Spiderman trumps all but the imagination is starting to run wild. It's cute! He rarely responds to Nolan, rather Peter Parker (Spiderman character).


Ryan has entered his busy season, so far so good, although we could use some more warm weather. Soccer also started and the Timbers are doing great, with a new star player from Japan on the team. We hope everyone is doing well. Enjoy


(yes we play in the rain..it was pouring this day and we decided to run around)
