Bald eagle at Birch Bay

A lucky shot of the resident bald eagle.

This eagle spends much of each day perched on a tree right ourside our door. Being on the fourth floor, we are not much below his perch so we had a good view of him.

Birch Bay

We had such a wonderful time staying in our time share in Birch Bay. We were so relaxed and enjoyed being there so much we really didn't want it to end.

This picture is what we see each evening as the day comes near its end.

Ryan and his family came to visit from New Mexico and as the word got out Teonei decided to come up from California and we decided we ought to go up to Washington to visit Kandle who had just moved there with her family. We had Kandle invite her mom who was able to bring Sebastian and Jason with his family. Sadly we had all the Salway kids except for Don and his family. Don's wife Lara was about to have our new grandson Ethan so it was not wise for them to travel so close to delivery.


These pictures record the great visit we all had. It is so wonderful to have a home that is so fun for the grand kids.

I am so glad that Jason and his family were able to come. We hope to get with them a lot more.

Zoe is growing into such a wonderful young woman.

Not only am I shorter than him I was also standing downhill from him.

It was great having them fly to Oregon to initiate this family get together.

We loved having Teonei and her kids with us and hope that next time Rajesh can join us. We really missed having him with us. Silly guy had to be responsible and work.







Thanks Chis for dressing for the photo. Next time maybe we will go more formal with the rest as well.

Kandle and Chris were nice enough to move to a nice home for this event. Well, OK that isn't why they moved there but it was wonderful visiting in their home.

This shot was taken the next day after church. What a beautiful family.

Just plain cute!

Just had to have one shot with Sophie in it.

This pictures of Ryan reminds me of Danny Gokey on American Idol.

I'm not sure what she is holding. Kind of looks like some left over food from a child.

Little Lady...

Kandle and Chris's living room.

Willow is just so cool.

Kandle has a rooster living in her back yard and yes, that is chicken poop she is sitting on. yuk

Cute rooster though.

He is bigger but she has the bigger stick.

Her first try on the skooter.

Book ends.

Three of the Chiteralla boys playing in the 'man room'.

Grandma Teri taught Dhruva how to crochet. He learned very quickly and even has the right tension.

At first Grandma taught him how to chain and after making a very long chain he wanted to know how to crochet so she taught him and he learned that very well. I look forward to seeing his first blanket.

It is great to be able to have a room just for the grandkids.


Well, OK the big guys like it too.
