Building on a Legacy

Four women, all from the same family, all daughters.  Kyla has so much to gain from this legacy of family, perseverance, relationship, and faith.  Thank you to the two mothers who have gone before me, leading by example, and showing me what it takes to be a Proverbs 31 woman.  May I continue to pass this example onto Kyla.

Grandma Cline, Emmy, Mommy, Kyla

Congratulations Jason!  Bellow is a tribute to his accomplishments and his big day. (due to the camera angle and lighting some of the pictures are blurry)

Missing Friends

Before we left Seattle, Kyla got to have one last play date with all of her friends.  Grant, Averie, and Norah all showed up to the party at the same time.  Some of these sweet pictures were captured.  We miss you, dear friends, but cannot wait to have another play date again.

The big SWITCH

Well, we made the big switch...from a Toshiba laptop to a MAC laptop.  Many people have given us strange looks, but the more we use it the more we like it.  The only downside is now we need to switch over all of our pictures from the old computer to the new one.  So with this switch comes more waiting.  I (Rachel) am usually the type of person that likes things in order and in their right place, however I will be posting updates out of order as I have the graduation pictures and not the moving and house pictures.  I guess and update is an update no matter the order or how much time has passed. 

Updates Coming Soon...

For those of you who have been patiently waiting an update (and those who haven't), they are coming soon!!  We are back in Portland and now have internet.  We have many things to write about.  Stay tuned!
