A day at the Lake!
Oh my! I haven't been to the water in Texas since the summer of 2003 and I have been dreaming about it for years! AND the water is just as good as I remember it! The water is warm and nice and we all just jumped right in. Well, Niki only stuck his toes in but he liked it too. Next week after Roma arrives we are camping on the lake for 4 days-right beside a nice little beach and hiking trails.

The boys are building a sand castle with the most important feature, a moat. We just happened to run into Sara McCall and her boys just as we pulled up to Sandy Beach.

Mama and Luka taking a swim. He is a little hesitant but if you take it nice and slow he likes it.

Auntie Trish is looking on while Luka fills my hair with sand--this is also a warning of the week to come. I just have to get used to being like a piece of sandpaper while we are camping.

That is our boat behind Luka--Joe Hall was great to let us just use it as much as we want while we are visiting. We will use it a lot!!! Niki rides well on it--he doesn't like his life jacket too much, but the motor of the boat puts him to sleep so he forgets about the thing around his body and head. (sorry no pictures, but it is kinda cute--next time maybe). The best thing about this boat is that next week when we have me and the 3 boys and Grandma and Grandpa and Trish like we had today, we will also be adding Jeremy, Roma Granny and maybe even Jeb and we will all fit comfortably!

Even though my kids do not recall every day about their papa (as I do about them)who they left behind in Portland, I still can see my deeds are in their actions: Look at Alyosha's damming/channeling game - that's what we did together at the Willamette River every week until water got too high. I bet he even emulates catastrophic break down of a levy followed by flood and distruction... Ahh..Priceless! I miss you all guys (and gals).
Your sentimental papa.
We miss you too Romka, but you are leaving on a jet plane in 2 days and counting--Alyosha is counting down just as he was counting down the days until we left for Texas! We can't wait until you get here.
Yeeehaw!
Ребятки! Как здорово-то!!!!!!! Просто нет слов!
МАПА.
