Portland

We got to spend a week in Portland with our entire DTS, staff and families. There were 84 of us and we all stayed in the church that Ross and I called home when we lived in Portland. The church where we met, where we worshiped, where we led junior high and high schoolers. It was super fun to be back and remember all the times we shared there. We also had the chance to catch up with and pray for our pastors (Pastor Richard and Pastor Chuck). It was a privilege to stay at New Song Community Church. Thank you Pastor Richard and Pastor Chuck for your hospitality!

While we were in Portland we got to visit with some old friends. Ross even did a quick kitchen redesign for one of the couples :-) Always the architect. The kids liked seeing the Vice family and playing with all their kids, plus we went to the Oregon Museum and Science Institute (like McWane Center), trick-or-treated, went out for hot chocolate with another friend and her kids. It rained a lot, so there was a lot of indoor play, too :)

Here are a few pictures from our week there.
