A Journey, a Journal, Reflections
For me, my kids, my grandkids

Rain, rain, rain. A beautiful view from the 53rd floor. The first day was just cloudy, the second day rained all day, and we had work to do at the ASBDC. I was told that Leo especially loved the Science and Art museum, which was full of trains.
Then I went home and they went to Maine.
Strange weather for Chicago in the first week of September.

Eva turned two on May 24, 2008. She and her mom and dad and brother Boyan celebrated several times, including one party for all of us while we (me, Nana, Sabrina, Timmy, and Leo) were visiting.

June 8, 2008. An excited call. Timmy’s riding his bike by himself. Noah taught him. I got a call from Sabrina, “We’re at Edison. We have no camera.” So I went quickly with my camera.

Disney vacation, May 2008. This was in the vacation club master bathroom, with a flat screen tv showing cartoons. Sabrina points out the look on Leo’s face; this was early in the week, so he still had some doubts.

This video was taken and produced by Chad Barczak. That’s his 5-year-old son Caden on the snowboard, and Timmy on skis, at 3. Timmy and Caden play together at school, and Chad was a Palo Alto Software employee for several years. At the end they’re going down the Summit lift, Bachelor’s finest. This was filmed in late March, 2008.

Noah took this on March 9, 2008. Timmy seems to have taken a big step up with his skiing the last few weeks. He went up to the summit at Bachelor a couple times last weekend — he calls it “the grown-up hiill” and skied down by himself. He’s skiing a lot of runs now, ending up tired and happy.

I intend to post links to pictures later. We weren’t the most photogenic group on this holiday, to be truthful. The four of us drove over to Bend Wednesday, and the Parsons drove over with Katherine, and Lupe and Luis flew to Redmond and rented a car, to join us. Rodrigo came with us.
The skiing was tough. Bachelor had barely enough snow to open, even with its snowmaking equipment, and I ran over rocks hidden in a thin veneer of snow and fell flat on my face. No damages, just looked dumb, right at the top of the Pine Martens lift. Timmy and Noah skied more than the rest of us, Megan and I got four runs, but our rental skiis were not the easiest and the slopes were dicy. Sabrina skied almost as much as Noah and Timmy, and Luis and Rodrigo skied (well, Luis was on his board, impeccably outfitted, of course).
Meanwhile, back at the lodge, it was sunny and beautiful unless you were Leo, who wasn’t feeling all that great.
We had Thanksgiving dinner at Sunriver Lodge. 
Paul and Milena and Eva went to CanCun, and Laura stayed in Eugene.
Photos will be on Amiglia soon, in parsons.amiglia.com and berrys.amiglia.com.

This is also at the Sept. 15 2007 ducks game against Fresno State. The two boys were particularly happy with the halftime show.

Me, Noah, Sabrina, Timmy and Leo went to watch the ducks crush the Fresno State Bulldogs Sept. 15. It was a beautiful day, the ducks won easily, the crowd was in a good mood, and the kids did pretty well too, lasting a full 90 minutes.

Who wants to put a caption to this picture. What is Leo’s expression? Resignation?
