Youth Regatta


Today was the Willamette Sailing Club's Fall Youth Regatta for 420, Laser & Opti sailors ranging in age from 6-18. Click here for photos. Drew is in boat #5. The wind was light compared to the previous day, when all the high school sailors were out, but it was mild, sunny and a nice day to be on the water.


Apple Pressing Party


We made apple cider on Saturday at an apple pressing party hosted by our friends Mike, Elizabeth, Joe and Zanna. Click here for photos. It was a busy day with 1,600 pounds of Honeycrisps to process, but there was no shortage of helping hands. 


Drew had a sailing regatta, perfectly time with a passing front that brought 30+ knot winds and lots of power outages to Portland.  Wish we could have been two places at once to take photos of all the big wind sailing he got to enjoy. There were several capsizes, one snapped rudder, and many happy sailors. 



Spirit Week


It was Spirit Week at LHS this past week, leading up to Friday's Homecoming events. Click here for photos from tacky tourist day, color wars, a Halloween-themed Homecoming dance and more.

Also, congrats to our good friend Sarah who was crowned TU Homecoming queen today!

Roller Derby


Thank you Goodwill for conveniently having gently-used roller blades in everyone's sizes.  Click here for a few photos from tonight's skate around Bridlemile. How is it already dark at 7:10 pm!?

October Eclipse


Click here for a few photos of last night's lunar eclipse. We were so busy looking up that Emily was the first to notice the raccoon in our viewing party. Her scream scared him off before we could snap a photo.
