Cold and Gray February brightened by Eva Calidris

We have all been busy and thus have not had the time to spend posting new pictures as often as I would like too. Suzanna is busy with teaching seventh grade life science--currently cell biology, including trips to the beach to collect diatoms for microscope work. David is keeping busy with the morning routine of getting Eva ready and taking her to preschool at the Cannon Beach Children's center 15 minutes away to the south. She really is enjoying her teachers, classmates, and learning and exploratory activities there. I am also keeping very busy with my "part-time" non-profit work as Coordinator for two independent Watershed Councils: Lower Nehalem Watershed Council and Necancium Watershed Council. See our upcoming event announcement for Bird Discovery Day 2008 at necanicumwatershed.org .

Eva is growing fast and eating well. She likes cucumber and grape tomatoes in her lunches. She is 35 inches tall now and around 30 pounds. Her hair has yet to be cut--how can we cut that beautiful hair. We send our love and good wishes to all our friends and family. Spring is around the corner. I have enjoyed enough hailstorms for a while....
