Hey! My dad (John Horihan) came out! That completes the immediate family, they've all seen the cheese factory in Tillamook, the beach in Cannon Beach, Timberline Lodge, and Multnomah falls. For those of you who have come to visit and stay with us, you know excatly what I mean. For those of you that don't, you won't. Hint: Come and visit. For those of you who came to visit in our pre-house days, try it again. We have an actual guest bedroom. Ok, so not "really" a guest bedroom. Its really Matthew's bedroom, but he's still bunking in M&D's room. But hey, come out in the next month or so and you'll have a room all to yourself. Anyways, my parents enjoyed the trip out here, having fun with the scenery and with two Grandchildren. For all those grandparents out there, remember this: as the years go on, its more and more difficult to get all your grandkids together. This was one chance to have all the grandkids in the same room.

Ok, so you're probably thinking, "Hey, I see all my grandkids at once all the time!" Sure, you probably live in a big city in Illinois. :-)

Matthew is doing great. He's making all sorts of sounds, more grunting than anythign else, but we do get some sort of cooing when he's really happy. Other than that, its like "unnh... unnhh... mmmhh...nnnuhhh" You get the picture.

Its been really nice lately... native Oregonians call it the "February Fake-out". If you want to sound local in the PDX area, belly up to a bar, order a local microbrew, and say "I sure like this February fake-out, makes me glad I live in Or-gin and not in that California". You may or may not get a positive response. If you see ex-loggers / farm hands / local-locals, you'll get something good. If you see techies / college students / parents, they won't really care. Anyways, we've enjoyed the sunshine.

Lynn is doing well, given she gets about 2 hours a sleep each night. Kinda rough. I like to think that sleep will return in 2 short years. She doesn't seem to think that is really funny. :-(

William is doing well too. He likes to ask "why". I can't tell the kid a story anymore without a dozen or so questions afterwards. God forbid that I don't tie up a story line within the story. He remembers everything... now something that used to work great, like "No, that CD is in Mommy's car" (and vice versa) will end in flames when I'm in Mommy's car. ("No daddy, you said yesterday it was in Mommy's car"). Crap. The quick distract is coming to its end.

So I know you all want pictures, but they're on my camera. I don't want to let this big bunch of text sit here on the computer while I go get it, so I'll post this and then go git-r-done with the camera & post pictures online.
