Sore Legs
I woke up this morning with sore calvs and slightly sore thys and back. I'm loving every moment of it! For those that didn't know Mike took Kai and I to Multnomah falls and a couple other falls before it. We hiked about a quarter mile the first fall, and then we got in the car and drove to the big falls. The path was 3 feet wide and made us nervous for Kai to walk by herself because she would not pay attention to whats in front of her and wanted to keep veering to the edge. So mike carried her. Because she is almost 30 pounds Mike tired quickly. I didn't blame him. We went just over a half mile at a 30-45 degree angles. I really miss hiking in the forest. I used to go to Angelas forest (and another that I don't remember) with my brother, uncle, aunt, and friends. I loved it. Being out yesterday reminded me of why. The fresh air, the exercise, the new sights, the plants, the animals... I just love it so much. I am hoping that we make hiking a normal thing. Its a little difficult with Kai but I am hoping to get her wanting to go. Mayby find some kid friendly trails that we dint have to worry that she falls off the edge.

Another Day on the callender
We have been here 4 months and I'm still not sick of the rain, I am still in awe over the trees, I still like the vibe of the whole Portland area, and I still like to investigate my surroundings. I miss my grandparents and friends dearly. I have made a couple friends, got a puppy and the apartment feels lived in. All seems to be going well. Kai is now considered potty trained with the rare not making it all the way onto the potty accident like most two year olds have. The puppy on the other hand is so friggn stubborn she doesn't want to learn where to pee or poo. Half the time its on the puppy pee pad, and other times...not so much. Most dogs stop in their track when you scold them right when they squat... she just keeps on going, both pee and poo.
Kai had a doctors check up last Monday and got her booster shots and got her blood drawn to see if she is allergic to anything. The next day She puked all over the back seat of our friends car on the way to the zoo. Took her strait to the doc and said it was due to the body trying to except the shots and not to be worried.
Thursday Kai Climbed up onto some boxes that she had gotten in trouble for before and slipped. She hit her head on the corner of the counter. I was in the other room and went to get her off the floor thinking she just bonked. When she wouldn't calm down after 30 seconds I asked where the ouwee was and looked at her head for a red mark. As I swiped her hair to the size I saw a huge lump on her forehead with a bright purple line down it. To give you an idea of the size, picture a boiled egg cut in half and place it on a two year olds for head and that's what it looked like, except more colorful. It scared me! I ran to the freezer and got some frozen corn and placed it gently on her head and cradled her on my bed. I called the ER nurse with my doc office and she asked a whole lot of questions and then since the swelling had gone down in the couple minuets that she should be fine and gave me a list of symptoms to look for. I gave her some Tylenol and kept her up way past her bed time and she seemed to be fine. She now has a yellowish bruise with a nice purpley blue stripe down the center and a slight blackish eye with a little swelling. All in all she is fine :). This, like many more moments to come, scared the Pee out of me. I'm told that many children around this age end up with a nice noggin whack.
On another note, Our tax returns came back and they were enough to pay off my grandfather in one payment. We were afraid this was not going to happen and we were going to have to make payments which would not make my grandfather happy. But now its all good and We are in good graces :). Too bad we couldn't spend it though.;)
That's all for now.

Meme directions:
* Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive.
* No captions. It must be like we're speaking with images and we have to interpret your visual language just like we have to interpret your words.
* They must ALREADY be on your hard drive - no Googling or Flickr! They have to have been saved to your folders sometime in the past. They must be something you've saved there because it resonated with you for some reason.
* You do NOT have to answer any questions about any of your pictures if you don't want to. You can make them as mysterious as you like. Or you can explain them away as much as you like.
