Yes, we are still alive.  Don't worry.  We've just been busy and haven't been taking nearly enough photos and video.  We need to get on that.  Chase is doing lots of new things that we need to document. .....Stay tuned.....

Just to let you know what we've been up to... We are still running, and still considering whether or not we are crazy for signing up for this marathon.        Chase is just as cute as ever, if not cuter.  He loves to play catch and to play with cars.  He likes to tell us to "stop it!"... I wonder where he got that from.  He says "please" and "thank you", which is always nice to hear.  And he has started to say prayers for us.  Usually he just goes along and waits for us to say a prayer but today at lunch he wanted to give it a try.  Of course, I helped him out a little and he did a great job!  I can't wait for Jonny to come home tonight so he can see it for himself.

Our friends Matt and Andrea Hess stopped by for an overnight visit.  They were on their way back home to Utah and it was great to have them.  Their little boy Jack got along great with Chase and they were sad to part.  :(  And Chase loved the baby.  He just wanted to give him kisses.  (I'll post pictures of their visit when they email them to us  *hint, hint*)  It was a great visit, but way too short.  Maybe we can visit them when they move to Hawaii?  I'm crossing my fingers!

I think that's all that's been happening lately.  We're just living life like usual and trying to have lots of fun together!  Again, if you want more specifics on what little Chaser has been up to make sure to visit his blog  doitasidoit.blogspot.com

Take care!

Love, the Porters

We moved!!!

We are back on the "east side", which is both happy and sad.  We are close to family and friends now, which is always a good thing.

But, now Jonny has that dreadful commute again. 

Blah. 

You might be wondering why we moved...  Didn't we just move across town like 6 months ago? Yes.

And didn't we vow to not move back out here, in an effort to avoid a long commute?  Yes. 

But, here we are. 

We were offered an apartment manager position with a small complex and a great deal.  We just couldn't pass it up!  Anybody looking to move out to our side of town?  We could hook you up!  And we could give you moving tips....  this was our 5th move together.... in 3 1/2 years!  Ridiculous, right?

So now that we are settled in we can start taking pictures again... we'll post some soon.
