Been busy

Well in case you haven't heard, Cindy is pregnant again. We are expecting a late-December C-section to bring Pat-spawn number 2 into the world.

God help us all.

Although, Violet has been a wonderful child so far. Yes, she loves to sing at the top of her lungs, but that's much better than the alternative.

I have been very busy lately with work lately. That's why the blog has taken a back seat. Plus I have no clue how many people read this thing, so I always assume it's just Cindy and maybe my mom.

There have been several stories for the Silverton Appeal and Stayton Mail.

I wrote about a guy who worked with Anna Nicole Smith. Joy!

I wrote another story about a guy making wooden book spines to raise money for the Stayton Library.

I gained 5-pounds at the Silverton Strawberry Festival.

I attended a Great Northern Planes benefit concert for an injured Silverton Teen.

There was the first ever art show for Regis High School students and local artists.

A new baby got a gift from the Marion County Dairy Women, and I took photos of the little guy. Was Violet ever that small?!

Oh and how could I forget my Habitat for Humanity stories?! I wrote about two houses the organization build recently in Mount Angel. One is for a family of five and the other was for a woman who is a Russian immigrant.

I also did two stories for the Family and Locally Owned Business section for the Statesman Journal (they are going backwards in their web presence and not posting special sections now it seems).
