Portland!

Hey gang, long time no post. The huge news for our family is that we moved from Chicago to Portland! My company transferred me to a new job in their Portland office. I moved out in December and lived with a buddy all winter, while Sharon got our affairs in order in Chicago. Our family finally reunited last week and we moved into our new home in southwest Portland.

We live just 20 blocks from my brother's house, and our kids will attend the same elementary school (Markham Elementary, home of the Wildcats). I have an easy commute to my job downtown, and it's a 5-minute drive to school, the library, and the neighboorhood park. The house is on a quiet street with friendly neighbors.

Here are some photos from our first weekend in Oregon:
