You might be asking yourself, "What ever happened to Cat and Paul? Didn't we know people by that name in Denver once?" and I think you would be justified. We have been absent for quite awhile, but are now back in town, mostly recovering from 5 (count'em 5) weekends out of town or in emergency mode. I'm happy to say every one has been fed and most laundry has been cleaned, though all food and laundry are in various stages of disarray around the apt.

Last weekend we were in OR, visiting our niece and her parents for our first opportunity to meet, Anna, the sweetest little girl in America.

What a good baby! These are my crappy phone photos. Guru has much better photos from the camera. You'll notice that I have a lot of pictures of rocks and trees, because we had to indoctrinate Anna into the family vacation pastime. ;)

It was a great trip, though a bit rushed. We had direct flights there and back, which was good except for the trip home. Got home Monday night. I took Tuesday off and manage to get nothing accomplished. I read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell on the trip. I highly recommend it as kind of a grown up Harry Potter. You know, to ween you off of the last book. Think Magicans, Napoleon and King George. Yum!

I did manage to drag HP and Settlers of Catan both all the way out there and all the way back without opening either. I will have to corrupt -- I mean teach -- the wetzel's catan at a later date. I still haven't finish Harry yet, so NO SPOILERS!

This weekend we are looking at more houses, reading over the agreement about how we don't have to pay for the privilage of a sky light (being on the first floor), meeting with friends, meeting with other friends, and hopefullly going to a new/old church with hopes of finding some hope. and maybe some grace.

Anyway, that's the news from here. What have you been up to?
