This time it's the left

From Jan/Feb2015

Yep, Annikka has another broken arm, but this time it's the left.  She was doing cartwheels around the house yesterday and landed wrong on her ~33rd attempt.  We went to urgent care and she got a sling.  At the follow-up with orthopedics today, she got a splint -- she talked the doctor out of a full cast (she learned it wasn't much fun last time).  She'll go back for more x-rays in 2 weeks, but in the meantime I guess we need to cancel our ski trip...

Beaver ball

Tonight's Beaver basketball game honored Gary Payton (probably OSU most famous player), and since we were running a little behind schedule we got luckily enough to run into him outside the arena!

From Jan/Feb2014

The game was really fun as the place was filled with lots of energy.

And we got on tv (at a commercial break)!

Christmas & family

From Nov/Dec2013

The Howe family was at our house for Christmas.  With 4 little girls, it was a very busy time but oh so much fun.  We enjoyed opening all the gifts,
