Soccer Picture

Here's Carli's soccer picture. She scored a goal on Saturday, which was her second goal of the season. Carli is enjoying soccer and sometimes is super "on it" but other times fussing with her hair is more important. I guess as long as she is having fun and learning something, it is worthwhile.

Video of Shanghai

Here's a short video of area of Shanghai called the Bund. It shows a great view of the city and its architecture. Eric is on his way home!

The Great Wall

I am not bitter or anything but as I was standing in the rain yesterday watching Carli's soccer game, Eric was scaling the GREAT WALL! It is only 90 minutes from Beijing and apparently "incredible". Eric really has gotten to see lots of the world during his work travel and just once I would love to tag along...oh well...

Eric is Asia...again....

Eric is on another one of his epic Asia trips...four cities in 10 days. One day in Tokyo, six days in Seoul, three days in Bejing and one day in Shanghai. Of course, I am very jealous that he is going to all the places I would love to visit! While I lead my glamorous life of getting Carli to school, taking her to soccer practice and coloring with Pearl. Life just isn't fair. Eric sent a few pictures of Seoul visible from his hotel room. He says it is only 10% of the city. Wow!

Back to School

Today is Carli's first day of THIRD grade. She is very excited, mostly because she finally gets to wear her coveted new dress! She woke up at 6 a.m. ready to go.

Tubing

Eric took the girls to his family reunion on Sunday. Carli had a great time tubing on the Willamette River.

Life is good

Life is good....wake up, eat, bike, eat, bike, feed the horses, pool and more eating! And start all over again the next day. We have seen lots of deer and even played tennis this morning, too. This is what vacations are all about: good food, good friends and lots of activities.
