In the category of "careful what you wish for," keep in mind that a resolution to lose the weight you gained because of monumental stress incurred over the last 4 months could, in fate's eyes (I suppose) mean a request for a stomach flu. Bad, bad stomach flu = craptaculous way to ring in 2008.

Congrats to Mariel who just had baby Grace - fastest 9 (10?) months I've seen pass in quite a while. East Coast Kim and Yuen are also each on the list for upcoming births, and rumor has it that Katie is well into her third trimester with twins...

Here's our news... a new, new house... we close very soon. It's in NW Portland - Forest Heights area. Great place, great view, very convenient to downtown and three streets away from our great friends Shahab and Kelly. We'll move in in early February because we're having hardwoods added and stained on the first floor. Cindy asked for some pics, so here they are...

Stay tuned...
