Our apologies on the lack of participation from the Oregon Rosses. Last term was terrible for me. I had to work all nights and most days and didn't get much time for living. But this term, I don't have any nights! This took some gambling the the number of classes for this term (at one point I thought I wouldnt be able to get more than 3 and until last week was signed on for 6), but it paid off in the end. I have evenings off and will be able to relax more. Time to enjoy the Good Life, as Dave would say!
I finally got the pictures off of my camera from around Christmas and now you guys get to see some oldie but goodies (at least in my humble opinion.)
From New Years in Big Sur with Mike and Caroline, we have the very cold creek crossing.
Next, is Dave and Caroline going to bed well before midnight....again....
This I just like. It is of Mike and Caroline on the beach we hiked to...before the above mentioned creek crossing.
After New Years, Dave got to work on 6 cluster posts for his old employer Oregon Timberworks. He was able to work in his shop, cold as that was in January. Here are some pics of the finished products
And we went to the Handmade Bike Show... Sure do wish I could buy custom-made!
The first of hopefully many brews by the team of Ross and Davidson occured sometime during the winter....Actually, it was before Christmas, I think, but I'll just say winter so these pictures are still kind-of chronological... This is the "ghetto" brewery constructed in our backyard. Things can only get better from this!
And yep, it continues... Over spring break I had some help from my wonderful family and we painted my front room. Amy, Zoe, and Maya helped me paint and my Mom watched the little ones. I could not have done it with their help!
As you can see, the house is still cluttered and disorganized (sadly, not due to the painting but due to the lifestyle of Dave and Becky! We have too many books and not enough bookcases. Dave is working on this however and I hope to have a very organized home soon.)Finally, the last picture is of Dave's newest addition to his shop. We finally had the bandsaw sent up from Eagle Tools in LA. This is the crate it came in. Dave just got it last week and is still in the process of getting it all set up. (He just barely got it standing on its base today) I'll put up some new pictures soon of the bandsaw when it is up and running.
Well, if you made this far, thank you for humoring us! These pictures weren't great but its what we've been up to!
Love you guys,
becky and dave :)

Missed you and your posts. Thanks for taking time. We enjoyed the pictures and captions so much. Had dinner with Mike and Caroline and Billy and Tami last night. It was fun to listen to the China stories, boat stories, and iphone stories. Wish you could have been there. So good to be together.
Love you.
