Oktoberfest 2008


Here I am with my friend and William. It didn't rain any of the 4 days in mid September which is rare for Oregon. We had fun and Taylor did the face painting that you see. This is a picture taken at the outdoor dance floor.

What's up with the Pier Family

Sorry we haven't posted for awhile. Kelli is doing very well in school. We are reading the Wind and the Willows together and she is also reading many fairy related books like into the Labyrinth. Recently though, reading has decreased as dad bought them a PS3. William wants to play and Kelli likes to play. They have the Wally, Cars and Lego Indiana Jones games.

William loves trains, planes and automobiles. He likes to take a hot wheels car with him wherever he goes. He also loves visiting the hot wheels web site- though we may not enjoy it so much because he needs help and often changes his mind on a game 30 seconds after the game has started and wants a different game. We wish the Acceleracers would be able to make more DVD's. He is talking more each day and still has a soft spot in each of our hearts even though he seems to hit and get into more and more things. He often raids the treasure chest at work for a glider which once put together is quickly torn apart. He seems to think it is a game.

Kelli likes to play fashion designer. She will hopefully get her room all to herself by December. Free of dad's work desk and paperwork. She is learning many things at school. We went to High School Musical on the opening weekend. She is busy making friends and wanting to be included.

Tom and I are busy with work and kids. By June of 2009, hopefully we will be completed on the office remodel and that will allow us to have a little more free time.

A few photos of William



William enjoyed Disneyland too. Here's one of the last pictures before his hair cut. Dad didn't have them take off too much, so he still as some curls.

A few photos to catch up



We went to the magic kingdom in May. Here are a few photos. This was a photo taken while we waited for the electrical light parade.


Cool refreshment on a hot day.

Playhouse

The Playhouse had been remodeled since the last time we had been there. Both kids liked playing house. ( I thought the remodel was great- before it was just bare wood.

Will, you ride a tired horse



William loved this swing. As well as the slide. It was very hard to get him to leave the play areas and also take turns-some tantrums ( welcome to age 2!) but the playhouse was also fun.
