Signs of Spring and a Roadtrip


The cherry blossoms are blooming in Portland, and Jake is off to new adventures. The picture above was taken near Bozeman, Montana, about halfway into a road trip from Portland to Minneapolis, where Jake will be starting a new job. Drew kindly accompanied him on the first part of his journey, which earned him a souvenir t-shirt. 


Jake has officially become the first person in our family to have visited the state of North Dakota, where he got (safely) up close with some buffalo. Click here for more photos from the boys' trip and a few other recent activities, including a farewell dinner we had ahead of Jake's departure. 



We posted this album in a previous blog entry but added to it as winter transitioned into spring, so sharing it again. The weather has been typically all over the place, as it always is in March in Portland... wet, warm, wet. 



A final note of congratulations to Drew, who celebrated a birthday in March, and to Drew and Grace for being accepted into the Accelerated Nursing Program at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) - an opportunity that will take them to Ashland, Oregon for 14-months starting in September.
