Piet and I are settled in our new home. We even set up our first Christmas tree together this evening. The apartment is wonderful, sporting steam heat which we can use as much of as we want. Piet’s brother says “they live in a sauna”. Its really nice in this below freezing weather we’ve been having. The cats seem quite happy here as well. All is well, and Merry Christmas!

With Piet and I moving into a new place at the end of the month, I have been feeling homesick for our little neighborhood and our family already. But its always exciting to move into a new place, and we are looking forward to decorating and scouring Goodwill for funky cups and knick knacks.
This Halloween was fun. My friend Molly and I made our own costumes out of packing paper and tule, and Piet’s costume was a combination of Goodwill clothes and goodies I sewed onto them from the fabric store.
Our lovely Sister in Law Kim did a photo shoot with us, which was much fun, a little cold…but fun! Here are the results.
Pieter and I embraced the ice cold Portland morning with an adventure to Albina Press on foot. Mornings have been brisk, and evenings long and dark…but we have a fireplace for now and kitties to cuddle up to. Also, i’m rekindling my past love of photography and brushing up on my skills with these new fandangled digital cameras.
