Aerial Views of the Great State of Washington (Video)

As Laura and I prepare to fly to Chicago this week, I’d like to share a video I made from my flight a week ago to Seattle from Maryland. This is a short video showing some of the views of Washington State as we fly east to west and land at Seattle-Tacoma airport. There are some great views of Mount Rainier and surrounding area. This was filmed on a BlackBerry so don’t expect much from it.

You’ve lived in how many homes in the last decade?

You’ve lived in how many homes in the last decade?

We have history of moving. A lot! Ever since we left our childhood homes in San Jose, California (Brett) and Newberg, Oregon (Laura), we’ve moved frequently for a variety of reasons. Job. Change of scenery. School. Most moves have been our decision, though, we’ve been more enthusiastic about some more than others.

So exactly how many places have we called home in the last decade? 17 to be exact.

Ethan’s 3rd Birthday Weekend Festivities

Ethan’s 3rd Birthday Weekend Festivities

Ethan’s 3rd birthday has come and gone. It was a wonderful weekend, yet alone month, of activities for him to enjoy. I think his 3rd birthday is more of a rite of passage. It’s similar to when a boy becomes a teenager on his 13th birthday. Ethan went from toddler to little boy this year. He’s grown so much physically and emotionally. He is engaged in his surroundings, seeking to explore and find new adventures. He questions the world and why things are the way they are. Of course he is also learning to test his boundaries and seeing how far he can take it. But this only teaches him what is acceptable and not acceptable to his parents, family, friends, and society.
