We did have a TouGH time finding a place to live in Oregon. Stressful! But, we have finally found a place and we are very grateful for that. It is close to campus which is a big plus. But, it looks extremely small. I am nervous we are not going to fit! We are hoping to just live there for a short time until we can get into some of these other places we like better that we are on waiting lists for. So, anybody have any tips on saving space and organizing?!
We have had to fix both our cars, which was a bit unexpected, and we are going to sell one, finish up projects, find lost cell phones, and get everything set. It seems like there is always a ton to do when you get ready to move. But, we are excited.
I am so grateful for this little guy. He makes me laugh. I think he looks so much like Isaac in this picture! He has just learned how to drink from a straw and LOVES to drink the chocolate milk boxes. Everytime someone has one he says. "peas peas". He is changing and growing up and learning to say so much more. He says, "u go (let's go) and puts his arm in the air, peas (please) is one of his favorite words right now, nana(banana), he clicks at the horses to come to him whenever he sees one, and whenever he is stinky he says "stinky" and plugs his nose . I love his smile and laugh.

So I just wrote a whole long thing and it messed up and didnt post it! Anyway-I am definitely sad that you guys are leaving! It has been fun to see you so often. I hope that you get into the apts that you want to soon! We would LOVE to come visit you sometime. Bret has really wanted to go back to Oregon for a long time and having you guys there would make it extra fun. You are right-Kason does look a ton like Isaac in that pic. Good luck packing! Maybe we can see you if you go through here on your way!
Good luck on your move. New places are scary and exciting. It was fun to see you all this summer. I hope you enjoy Oregon!!!
Lane and I have lived away from family for the last couple of years and I've learned that the friends I've made here have become my family. I've also decided that it really has been good for us to get out on our own. We've had to rely on each other more. And now I love where we are (although, Boise does get a bit too hot at times). Good luck moving, and unpacking. I think when you are in a small place, organization is the key. When do you guys take off?
I really hope you like Oregon. Skyler & I really did. We weren't in Eugene, but a few hours away. Sometimes it is good to just get away and establish yourselves. Best wishes!
good luck with the move!! I sure hate moving also. I am sure it will be a great adventure for you guys though!!
I'm going to miss you so much! Good luck with the move, I wish we were living close so we could take the little ones to pools and the library during the day. BUT, I'm so excited that you are going to be in Oregon. How pretty! make sure to post lots of pics of your new place and everything. I love you Pigmy.
Good luck in Oregon, we hope all goes well for your wonderful family!!

Eugene, Oregon? I will be making my way up there in Feb. '09 for a Conference at UO. I am also applying for their LLM program, to begin Fall of '09.
Anyway, I was leaving a message for Autumn Waddell the other day, and saw your sister Megan had mentioned she had another baby, and a website. Went to the site, and saw a link to you.
Hope things are going well. Phd programs are fun. I'm sure you'll do well. I have one year of law school left, and then, as previously mentioned, I'll probably be working on an advanced law degree. Hopefully leading to a professorship someday.
Anyway, I've though about setting up one of these blogs, but haven't found the time to really do it. Congratulations on the family. My wife, Dalila, and I are working on one, but have yet to make any headway. For now, we just rescue dogs.
Later,

I totally know what you mean about moving! We move Monday and it's such a hassle with kids. We are moving into a pretty small place too which stinks because we've been able to rent a nice big house all summer. It will be hard going back to a small apartment! But hope you guys have a smooth move! Wish you were moving to Virginia with us!
Oregon is one of my favorite places. It is so pretty. Good luck with everything...and IKEA's awesome for cheap organizing stuff!
