'Til next time, Have Fun -Steve, Carolyn, Davis & Nakita

All the photos are clickable to a file that is slightly better for printing. If anyone wants them in an even larger format, you can drop me an e-mail, and I'll send you the big mac daddy file. Hope that helps.

For years, home ownership has seemed but a fantasy for us. With Real Estate prices in the Rogue Valley outrageously high, and our incomes artisticly low, renting seemed the best option. Having a little one makes you look at things a bit differently. We realized that we were putting someone elses kid through college every time we paid rent. So, after a few weeks of searching, and a generous nudge from Charlie and Tobi, we are in the process of buying our first home!!!

Big thanks to Great Aunt Carolyn and Great Uncle Bernie for the superniftycool, Rocking Horse that Showed up on our porch attached to a puffing sweaty UPS driver.

DAVIS' LATEST STATS

15 lbs. 12 oz. 26 inches long

Our future home, (barring any wierd problems), has 3 bedrooms, 2 Baths, a garage, a carport, shed, and small deck in the back. Yes it is a manufactured home, but we will own the .14 acre lot underneath it!

The Scene Shop Party!

Big News!!!

Oma came for a visit!!!

Grandpa and Nana brought Oma up from Sacremento to meet her 15th great grandchild. Davis was enthralled with Oma's voice. She came bearing a huge Thomas the Tank Engine riding toy.

Speaking of Big Riding Toys!

Coming up on four months old May 18

While it was a short visit, we all had a good time. Steve had grandiose ideas about getting back into the kitchen and cooking a big dinner since he had grandparents to entertain the Boy... everyone was very polite concerning the tragedy that was Lamb Shanks.

Another Year, Another Party!

Once again, the scene shop party was a huge success. This year our theme was The 'O lympics. This is the annual themed party where Carolyn and Steve first met, (that year the theme was "Spies, and Secret Agents"). While we weren't able to attend together this year, Mom let Dad go for a couple hours.

The party featured badminton, ping pong, olympic kareoke, and various relay competitions including dry land swimming. Steve fulfilled a lifelong olympic dream of creating a nacho cheese fountain for the snack table at the party!
