Spring is finally here!

Here in the high desert, Spring comes later than lots of lower elevation places around the country. Our trees in the front yard started to bloom pink this week, the grass is trying it's hardest to turn green, and finally this weekend it started to warm up. So we are making the most of it, and trying to get outside and enjoy the warm weather. Because inevitably, it will probably snow later this week!

Josiah's surgery is this Friday at Shriner's Hospital (for his first palate repair and tubes). We go on Thursday for a pre-op appointment, then Josiah and I will spend the night at the hospital cause his surgery is scheduled to start by 7:30 AM. Please pray that he stays healthy inbetween now and then, and that the surgery and recovery will be a success.

Here's a few pictures from today's hike along the Deschutes river.

All the troops!
I just had to put this in - thought it was cute of Olivia. Joel's the photographer.
