Well, it is official, we are completely moved out of Bellingham. Carole worked her last week at Larrabee and cooked her last meal at camp. It was a nice week to see some friends and say good-bye to students who became regulars this fall. Now on to Vancouver! Brandon has been working long days, but guess what...gets paid overtime for those now! Carole is still waiting for a call from the schools here, but is official and signed up and ready to go.
Some things we are enjoying in Vancouver: Saturday morning at Panera Bread Company, Sunday morning griddle breakfasts cooked by Brandon on his cast iron griddle he got for his birthday, walks at the dog park, a grocery store within walking distance, hanging with Jon, Briana, and Kadyn, eating NOT in front of the TV (our new year's resolution), and the privacy of our own place not at camp.
Smokey at the Dog Park
Brandon cooking us Sunday breakfast (note the hood up--his mean wife won't turn up the heat)
Some things that will take a little getting used to: Dog ownership in the city (you should see Carole's scraped up knees where Smokey pulled her over in the street on a walk), someone actually living below us (although at least we don't share a water heater with them), and not having anyone who will call Carole and only Carole to sub for them!
Carole used her Christmas money to purchase a long-time wish, a small point-and-shoot camera. We have the big camera of Brandon's but often don't carry it with us and then wish we had it. The pictures in this posting were taken with the new camera, it seems to be working pretty well!

Thanks a bunch!!!
have fun in the snow!
We too woke up to the snow and had a snow day from school. St. Louis pretty well shuts down also! Thanks for the pics and updates. Yeah for the new point and shoot camera, you will love it. Panera Bread on a Sat. morning is the place to be. It's amazing how many people we run into there, though we have not been regulars since watching what we eat. I know what to send you for V-Day! Stay warm Brandon...dad sits with his hat on, not because he won't turn the heat up, but just because he is sooooo cold no matter what. Love the updates, sounds like you are both happy with the move! Love you,
MOM
