i miss you all!

just thought id give a little update from northern california. things here for the most part have been pretty good. i am going to make another attempt at day shift starting november 2, we will see how it goes but thinking it would be nice to see my husband a bit more, and actually be home most nights. i have also started working per diem only a few hrs every few weeks for a plastic surgeon. its pretty fun and easy money. nice to have some extra income without having to work a whole 12 hr shift. were looking forward to dinner tomorrow night with roger and grace. roger is up here in sacramento for a conference for work. i will really try to take some pictures! and were really looking forward to doing our own thanksgiving again this year, last year it was just with our friends since most of us had to work. this year were super excited mom and dad are coming up and tami is flying down. should be fun!

love you all!!!

Say Hi to Sadie

Sadie got a new bed from her "friend" Sandy, the Engel's new dog. Sandy will not sleep on the bed; she prefers the floor. Sadie prefers the bed, even if it was Sandys. :)

Roses from the Portland gardens

I was looking through the pictures of the roses that we took when last in Portland with David and Becky. Here are some favorites. What a pleasant, fragrant walk that was!

Brian and Becky were down for a few day last week. Becky has the pictures. Sadie got a bath and some quality time with Brian and Becky. She didn't eat for two days after they left. We will be having Thankgiving dinner in Sacramento with mom's side of the family (at Brian and Becky's)on November 14th and then back to Long Beach to greet Mike and Caroline on the 19th. Billy and Tami will be in Chicago for Thanksgiving weekend. Love you, Mom and Dad
