He is stikingly handsome and very manly just like his father :), I mean older brother máté. Mommy will be at the hospital till thursday, but she and Timó are doing great. I am at home with Máté taking the week off of work to play mommy and finish work projects around the house before I head back to the states in a week. His weight in pounds was 7.9lbs, and he was 25 inches long!"

Beautiful Cascade Lake

I recently enjoyed a few days of rest and relaxation at the Brown House in Cascade, ID. I picked the perfect time as the weather in McCall and Cascade was sunny and crisp in contrast to the inversion and smog that was rolling in to the Boise valley. I enjoyed reading the word, prayer, meditation, walking,hot tubbing under the stars, and skiing at Brundage. I think one of my favorite parts of skiing is the ride up to the top of the mountain on the lift. The colors, sights, and sounds are truly breathtaking. I recently read that the essence of skiing is a simple conversation between your body and gravity. That about sums it up. Hope you all can come up for a visit before too long! Lorna

Holidays 2008

Karen and the kids made the harrowing treck to Idaho after Christmas. Seattle was so paralyzed with snow that Chris had to cancel when all efforts to find parking at SeaTac airport were exhausted. We missed him, but everyone enjoyed the food, fun, snow, and fellowship up in Cascade with Wayne and Ruth. Here are some of the photos from the festivities. Enjoy!
