End of Summer
OK.. It has been a really long time since I have updated this blog.
In the beginning of August Westen, Scott, Kate, and I visited many of you in Alaska. It was so good to see all of you. Scott and Kate had a wonderful time playing with friends and relatives. Kate and I will be coming back in November and will be staying at my brother and sister in-law's Chris and Marie while they are in Japan visiting their daughter.
On August 12th the Curry's returned to Wilsonville. My father Neal and my nephews Andrew and Eli came August 13th to visit for a week. We really enjoyed having them! Some of the highlights of that trip were swimming in the Willamette river on a very hot day, visiting the Oregon Zoo and Forestry Center, and going to the Mariners game. Neal, Scott, Andrew, and Eli went on an unforgettable day trip to Seattle to watch the game!
The third week in August Westen went to Oklahoma for a work trip. He left on Tuesday came back on Thursday and ran the Hood to Coast on Friday. We were originally going to run it together but decided it would be better for Kate if I stayed with her plus I ended up with a bad cold that week. Westen felt good about Hood to Coast. His first leg he ran 5.5 miles down 1,500 feet at 4pm on August 24th! His second leg he ran in the middle of the night. He did manage to get about 4 hours of sleep.Half of it in the back seat of the van. Westen ran his third and final leg around 9am. Kate and I met him and his team at Seaside where we were able to stay the night at a three bedroom condo overlooking the beach and all its festivities. We were able to share our condo with our neighbor's Christine and Tom who Westen ran with. Seaside was unbelievably crowded! It was estimated that over 100,000 people were there for the event.
Scott was not at Seaside because he was riding four-wheelers on the beach with his friend and neighbor who invited him on a 5 day camping trip in Winchester Bay Oregon on the Southern Coast of Oregon with his sister and dad . He rode on the Oregon Dunes mostly on the four wheeler with his friend but also on his own. Every night they enjoyed playing flashlight tag. He had a wonderful time and came home in one piece, tan, and smelling of a campfire.
Now it is time for back to school! Scott will have a Freshman orientation August 30th and he officially starts on September 4th. Katie will be going to preschool this year three mornings a week starting September 10th. She is so exited! She picked out her own backpack and was ready to pack it and have it ready! We have been enjoying these past few hot days by going to the water fountains. The temperature today was 92 degrees. Our air conditioner was blasting! Hopefully I will be adding pictures soon to the blog. Avi

Easter
Saturday, the neighbor girls hid eggs for Kate to find at the park. Kate had a great time. Saturday night we had the neighbors over for games! We had 6 children and 4 adults. We had two tables set up plus the computer where Westen and the boys played Hero’s. We had fun playing Stack, Jenga, and Rat a Tat Cat( Scott’s favorite game.)
Scott and Kate looking for hard boiled eggs in the backyard. Kate had dyed the eggs on Friday with a friend.
Sunday night we ended up combining our planned dinners with the neighbors and ate all together.
Scott enjoying Skittles at the park. Him and Zack helped hide eggs for the older girls.Scott just finished his first week in track. He will be doing hurdles and 100 and 800.

Marathon
This year we are both planning to run a marathon but on our own this time. Last year we ran the Portland Marathon together, It's nice to run together but the logistics are more difficult. Thanks again to Neal for taking Scott and Kate during our run :)
2007 Running Schedule:
August 24, 2007 - Westen - Hood to Coast Relay [Un-register]
October 7, 2007 - Westen - Portland Marathon [Register]
October 21, 2007 - Avi - San Francisco Marathon [Register]
(to be in the Hood to Coast Relay you have to join an existing team, as I understand it's common for teams to become desperate for runners as the date of the run approaches, so more on this run later)
