Week 1 - Oregon City - January 2-January 8, 2023

Ahhhh - the first week of the new year.....no excitement...... kids back in school....not a lot happening.  I worked in the woods - starting to pick up branches and debris that had fallen during the ice and the heavy wind and rain.  I'm pulling all of the armfuls to a burn pile and stacking then nicely until I can burn then (legally) during burn season.  Went to the dentist...no drama there.... went to a horror movie which was a mistake.

Warren and Whitney had made plans to go to Las Vegas to see the Women's Gymnastics Sweet 16.  We chose not to go....it's the same sort of competition that Warren and I went to last year.  We told W & W that we'd watch their kids.

We played with these geometric shapes - Holland does amazingly well.

Tried to make meals that everyone would like to eat.

Coper spent a lot of time patiently waiting for his Dad to come back.

We redeemed Coper's Christmas Activity.  He said he wanted to go to a park....off to Canemah Park for a couple of hours.

We all had a good time. But - Holland and Copeland really love their Mom and Dad and they were happy when W &W returned home.

Tyler turns 16 tomorrow (Monday January 9th),  He blessed the sacrament for the first time today - did a fine job.  We celebrated Sunday night  Warren made him a bowl of top Ramen noodles cake.  Amazing!
