Watching the pins fall down. 
Celebration.
Pretty girl.
Hmmm....how should I throw this shot?
Master controller.
Oh...just a little left....
Pushing it down the kiddie ramp. 
Action shot, I like the spin in the hair. 
Master bowler. 
I - apparently - was mistaken when I told Jeff we had diapers (albeit just a few) in the house. I thought I had enough time to get to Target and pick up a few more. NOPE! JR made a mess in his pants, needed a change - and we had NOTHING. Until Jeff could get the kids to CVS, this was his solution.
Pools of water in our moody table cover.
Future mosquito home - just built!
That little red light in the distance in actually a siren/light combo that lets everyone know that your PEP tank (pseudo septic tank) is backed up. Happens every time we have a hard rain with someone on the block.
There's what's left of the tree.
You can see the top half behind this vine-ridden log.
And that vine-ridden log is actually the bottom part of this tree.
And these are the tree's roots.
This is our drainage system for the street. It was far more swollen just an hour before - when we were getting the bad rains.
These are the plastic borders for the landscaping. They were creating a swimming pool in front of the house so Jeff ran outside and pulled them. Actually, Faye did us a huge favor. In dry land - these are impossible to get out. In wet sand, they were a piece of cake.
All in all, we did okay. I've been off since Wednesday. Jeff got off early Tuesday, all day Wednesday, early yesterday, and started late today. He'll have to work tomorrow. We were only without power for short spurts yesterday, and I was able to keep the house cool by cranking down the AC while the power was off. No damage to the house - we kept the cars in the garage.
They're doing the "twist" to one of the songs, over the speakers, the lyrics are "He is Lord, Lord, Lord!" They had dances to all of the songs. My favorite was the Power song, where Janna makes "muscles" with her arms. 
I think she's actually trying to gallop below.
After the zoo, with Jonah.
Views from the OHSU aerial tram. 
In Granny and Pop-Pop's backyard garden:
Back at Auntie Nelle and Uncle Scott's house. When JR and Janna got into the Jeep, JR put his arm around Janna and kept it there the whole time. It was too cute. 
On the MAX train to the Children's Museum. 
At the Children's Museum. This was SUCH a fun place to take the kids. Janna was immediately attracted to playing "doctor" with the babies, JR wanted to Dig and play in the construction zone. 
Digging after some prodding (she went back to doctoring shortly after).
He wasn't interested in the babies, but he'll drive an ambulance like Uncle Scott! 
LOVE this picture!
Playing in the water zone. 
And finally, the grocery store (JR started to melt down here). 
Chillin' at the Farmer's Market. 
On the rocks at Mcmenamins. 
Last day in Portland, at the fair. 
This picture CRACKS me up. JR HATED the baby coaster. He went around once, and looked horrified. The second time, this is what we saw:
One little, two little, three little babies (the kids with their cousin). 
Oh, and Tara this is ode to a car, by Quinn.
