1) bringing up, training, fostering care; nourishment.

2) nourish, rear, foster, train, educate.


i particularly like the bits about nourishing and bringing up.

life and love

2008 thus far:

pregnant and already half way.
marriage. eloping was the perfect thing. i am more in love then ever.
lewis is amazing.
i am looking forward to meeting our son and all the new adventures we will have.
this roller coaster is incredible and i dont want to get off for a long long time.
dont get me wrong the worries,scares, and hardships can be heart stopping.
the laughter and love and baby kicks are what its all about.

there is never enough time when i go. missed out on seeing some awesome folks.
i did get to meet a penguin and a kinkajou at the portland zoo!

Summertime!

Here's what I've been up to while I've been slacking on the blog:
many guests
first lily and kelly came through (walrus crew represent).
then rosa and joe.
plus shannon and gabe were in town and michelle and mcgregor.
i try to show everyone some of my favorite things about portland.
like the rose garden, sauvies island, mt tabor, dive and tiki bars, various brunch places, and atlas.
all the guests prompted us to finish landscaping our yard, get patio furniture, a couch and an air bed.
we are living the american dream with our lush lawn.
minus the dog pee.
oh emily and travis visited too!
there's been bbqs and quality time with all the babies.
there is so many now and they are all fantastic.
long walks.
lunar eclipse
more beach trips (seriously can i live there?).
school stuff (only a few weeks away).
new windshield.
pygmy marmoset tattoos.
actual marmosets at work.
and giant dragonflys.
and i think summer is gonna run late this year......
