Well, I have never "blogged" or had any sort of on line journal, so this will be my first attempt! I am somewhat of a rambler, so I appologize in advance for the tough to read blogs that may appear! I am feeling a bit disconnected from my family and friends back "home" in Oregon, and my sister in N. Carolina....so, I am hoping that this blog thing will help keep them/you up-to-date with what goes on all the way over here!
We've had a very blessed and busy year! We bought our first home in April and we have completely fallen in love with it! We took our 1st family vacation to Disney World, Cameron not only has a new job, but a career! He loves this job; and I love seeing him come home from work happy! The kids are getting big! Julian is in 3rd grade this year. We recently had parent-teacher conferences and the teachers LOVE him! He is doing well in all subjects....his strengths are in math and science and his weakness is reading! He has been working on improving reading all year and is definately becoming a more confident reader! Riley just started pre-school this month! She even rides the bus to and from school! It was so hard to let her go, but she is blossoming and growing in just the short time that she has been there! She had been a bit on the quiet/shy side, but now, well, lets just say she doesn't stop talking! We got a boston terrier in September and he is the best dog! He is well behaved, loves attention, finally crate trained, and he is great with the kids! Our cat Jazz is a fiesty thing! She LOVES Cameron and doesn't care much for me....she will let me pet her once or twice and then she bites me!...such a stinker!

This is Jazmine...she has claimed the hot wheels for herself!
...well, it's getting late, and I can't see the words I am typing anymore and I am too lazy to get up to get my glasses.....that's another new thing! My glasses!...which I don't really like, but boy I can see with them on!
Goodnight!...
