I've been pretty remiss about posting so thought I'd do a little catching up. The summer is over and now we're enjoying our fall weather. Clarity and her parents came to Portland and she and her family, her cousins Marli and Jaelyn, her Uncle Mike and Gran went to the zoo. It was a frosty morning but we all had a good time. This is the girls resting up for the trip and watching a movie. Clarity is sitting on her new couch - it's now in her new bedroom at home.
We loved seeing all the animals at the zoo and the girls love the tanks where they can get up close to the animals. As you can see, Michelle and Clarity are ready for the cold.

We love having the girls all living so close. We get to do such fun things with them all. And with Clarity in Hood River, it's just a 45 mile trip over and it's beautiful there. Steve and I went on the "Fruit Loop" and stopped at a farm that was selling 54 varities of apples, 15 varities of pears and assorted other things. I bought lots of Asian pears and apples and came home and canned applesauce. I've done it twice more since then. It's a hit!
