a week in portland

we are now in portland to visit kims friend hong, go snowboarding at mt hood, and celebrate nye. Hong and John have a darling 1 year old daughter, Abby. She is the apple of daddys eye and the twinkle of mother and grandparents. she constantly smiles and make bubbly noise with her mouth. she looks so adorable in a dress and cap. when we flew in on friday, the blizzard had subsided and we enjoyed rain, sun and occasional hail. today is monday and we are comfortably settled down after two days of shopping. oh, we also went to the trailblazer vs raptors game. it was wonderful.
