Newman




We were up at Mt. Hood a few weekends ago and headed up to Timberline Lodge, the only place on the mountain that had any snow to speak of. Peeka thought it was fantastic and ran around digging her nose in it. She's definitely a Montana girl! Our newest family member, Newman, wasn't such a fan. My mom and step-dad recently brought home a miniature schnauzer puppy that is small but full of attitude. However, even with the lovely holiday coat my parents bought him, he couldn't stop shivering in the snow. Not so tough now, little guy. Thought you'd enjoy photos of the dogs at Mt. Hood.

After missing last year's epic ski season entirely, we are praying for snow and hoping to hit the mountain sometime in 2008. Mother nature may have something else in mind when Oregon has beautiful bluebird days in December. Something is not right....

We recently had family photos taken in the Columbia Gorge by a wonderful couple who travel around the world with their two kids taking pictures. I just love how they turned out!

Cora and the boys

Dave's friends, Scotty, Ryan and Danny, have been taking good care of us this week. We're thinking about asking them to move in long-term! Ryan is currently making us a fancy breakfast and Danny is still trying to find us the perfect Subaru Forrester to purchase.

Salar de Uyuni Tour

Southeast Bolivia is home to the world´s largest salt flats. This amounts to huge expanses of flat land surrounded by snow capped mountains. Big lakes, super dry deserts, and llamas, alpacas and vicuñas everywhere. As you can see from the photos, there are a few interesting things going on here. First, and most notable, is the huge population of flamingos. There are three different species that summer in Bolivia and winter in Chile and Argentina. But what makes it even more interesting is that the salt flats are roughly 14-15,000 feet above sea level. We are way up here. That makes the hills and mountain surrounding the plains almost 20,000 feet. Mt. Everest is less than 30,000 feet. This is home to flamingos? Yep, lots of em.
