The Technological Age...

The sad thing is that we didn't set this picture up.

(Who says you can't work on a Threadless design, watch a netflix movie and enter grades all at the same time.)

Olive's new trick

I kinda feel like we're becoming "those" pet owners....but Olive just learned this new trick today and it's too cute not to share.

Scholastic Art Awards

Brian had four students whose artwork was recognized at the Portland Metro Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. The awards ceremony was held at PAcific Northwest College of art.






Two students received Gold Key Awards (the highest award in the competition)




The students didn't know they would be introducing themselves to a large mass of people (approx 700?). The speeches were.....impromptu.





These were the two Gold Key winners.

Olive Vs. Robot

Olive tries to play with one of Brian's X-mas gifts, but is scared to actually touch it.

This picture was taken exactly one year ago today when we arrived at the Portland Airport.
