Christmas Eve 2014
Happy Holidays!!
We hope this holiday season finds you and your family in good health and with much happiness in your lives.
Again... this year, your year has probably been busier than ours...
as ours has once again been more low key than in years past.
This is a very good thing.
We are valuing our new found time more and more. We REALLY like it.
Nick, Nicole, Matt and Katie are all working, challenged and loving their jobs
as well as being "very social" and exploring the Puget Sound area.
They (we) are very lucky.
Colton is attending St. Monica Catholic School, participating in activities and sports
and continues to be excited about everything.
Nash and Wrigley continue to enhance all our lives.
While in Portland we work on our home, go to medical appointments,
exercise, and visit the zoo as much as possible.
Outdoor activities, observing wildlife and exploring places we have not been in Oregon and Washington
were some of our main goals for 2015.
The weather cooperated, in fact influenced us to travel more... to escape the "heat".
A first in Oregon.
We traveled the Oregon Coast (all but the last 30 miles to the California border)
more than any other time in our lives,
Central and Eastern Oregon as well as NW Washington.
Unexpectedly in October we had the opportunity to go to
The Bahamas and Florida with Nick, Nicole and Colton.
We LOVE Atlantis and Harry Potter Land @ Universal.
Bill continues to raise the bar with his Parkinson's
and is determined to challenge everything.
His Kaiser team has been an incredible support, thinking outside the box,
and creating new ideas and resources for us to try.
We appreciate them sooooo much.
We wish you and your family Happy Holidays and a great 2016.
Bill and Debbie
