the Averys arrive!

Mom and Dad arrived Saturday afternoon, and Carl, Kim, Dani, and Roxy pulled in (after a long, overnight drive) on Sunday morning, and we are together again for a week. It's fantastic. I love having my family here for Thanksgiving, in our new home in our new city.


Since it's beautiful right now in Portland, we took them on a little hike in Forest Park on Sunday morning - Firelane 7 to the Ridge trail, along the Wildwood and back up Firelane 7.


Sebastian and Danica are having the usual amazing time together - they are such close cousins, always together, always talking and playing and laughing and cooperating. I keep thinking that one of these visits it will be different - the gap in time between visits, the different genders, the different interests, their age - will make them less inseparable, but so far they are exactly the same every time. Since they were two, they have been so happy together, and it is wonderful to see.
