Ever since watching Batman Begins, I’ve been eagerly awaiting its sequel because it was a movie so good, I didn’t want it to end. Now, matched against Batman’s most famous nemesis, the Joker, it’s a battle royale for Gotham. And Joker definitely got a smile on my face for his performance. Why so serious?

For Jenni’s birthday, I asked all the friends invited to our party to share a favorite memory they had of Jennilyn, and I put together a little slideshow as a conversation piece for the party.
I first met Jenni’s brother Cory after he came back from swimming. It was my first time at Jenni’s parents’ Battle Ground home and I was waiting in the living room for Jennilyn when Cory came through the front door.

Jenni: “No! I need to grab the diaper bag!”
(I just made that up because I can’t remember what we’ve actually said, but it’s a lot like that.) Needless to say, our processing skills are a bit shot, just as our eyes are blood-shot.
Here is Kadie’s first experiences with soccer. Maybe I’ll explain that eating the ball is against the rules when she gets a little older. Not bad for a 7 month old, eh?!
We made an offer on a house today! When our realtor called us last night that the seller verbally accepted our offer, it sounded like she was more excited than we were. I think we were excited as well, but it’s almost unreal. We bought a house…
