I miss you both

It's Portland, Round II for me now. The city is nice, this whole area is so pretty. Does it rain a lot? Yeah, I guess so. Is it cloudy a lot? Sure. The alternative is to be buried under five feet of snow which then builds up in dirty piles for six months a year.

But it's nice. I've always found rain relaxing. Unfortunately, we don't seem to ever get thunderstorms here.

It's just a lot harder to be away than I expected, and it gets harder every day. It'll be worth it, though, in the end.

Look who started walking a month or so ago...


And I believe there's a little tooth coming in on that cute little jaw...
