We made it to church today. It was the late-late service, but at least we made it. We got to sing a few songs, and hear a good sermon which is something that we've missed for almost 4 weeks. I think we're finally adjusting to Tanner's new schedule.
Most of you are getting sick of hearing this, but it was another warm, sunny day, so like good ex-Portlanders we had to take advantage of it and take another walk. This time we took a familiar route that we call the Wolf Creek Walk. This one rivals the River Walk in Vancouver that we use to take several times a week when we lived in our condo on the Columbia. Kate remembered the camera this time, so we took lots of pictures.
So the first picture is of Reagan, of course. She's in that cute phase where she has to try everything at least once. On the plus side, it makes dinner really easy. On the negative side, it makes getting ready very hard.
Kate begged for the next picture. She loves the paw print that is at the gates of the walk, and she was so pleased that we let her take the picture. So, now we have a rare picture that includes both Tanner and I, and I think Kate did an exceptional job. Please note that Georgie is in the stroller since this is the only picture that we have of her today.
And of course, here is another picture of Reagan, just because you can see the new apartments being built and you can also see the little creek that meanders through the walkways. It's amazing how steep the banks have to be in order to prevent massive flooding from occuring, and the huge drains that they have in order to wick the water away as fast as possible.
And this one is due to Tanner. He's always so  sensitive, and really tries hard to make sure that I get into a few picture at least. Since I'm always the one taking pictures (I blame my Japanese ancestry), I rarely appear as an actual persona. I'm typically the "phantom" mommy. But here we are. Proof that I do go on these walks with the kids.

Georgie fell asleep in the stroller, and I wasn't going to wake her up for a few photographs, so that should explaine the dearth of cute pictures today.
We walked the kids until they were dropping, then we stopped at the park and let them run around some more, then we walked back towards our house visiting Sonic Burger and getting some ice cream to fortify them for the last leg of the journey. By the way, Sonic Burger is our new favorite place to eat fastfood. Awesome slushes, limeades and ice cream are of paramount importance here in Texas, so it's no wonder that these things dot the landscape more frequently than a Starbucks.
