Our first month-iversary in E-burg!

Today marks four weeks since we pulled into Ellensburg, so we thought we'd share some fun statistics about our first month here:

- Graham and the kids have visited a park 25 times

- Graham got his first ever flip-flop tan on his feet – in Washington, not California

- We enjoyed the first crop of locally grown apples

- Have been to the homes of "strangers" for a meal twice

- Gideon’s legs have grown noticeably longer and stronger (must be all that time he spends riding his "big boy" bike)

- We've only gassed up the car twice

- We've been to every grocery store in town

- We've been to Fred Meyer four times, once for "CWU Night," 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., with unlimited free hot dogs, pizza and Mountain Dew (...and check-out lines! Oi!)

- We've spent over $30 on pay-as-you-go laundry

- Graham has lost over five pounds (first house with stairs)

- Roz has seen her boss 6 times

- Graham has seen only 1 movie in the theater

- Hannah has acquired four new teeth

- Roz got to drive a 15-passenger van

- The weather went up past 80 twice

But despite all the fun we're having, we still miss all our of friends and family in California. We wish you were all here to enjoy these memorable moments with us. :)

Wow, what a fun list of accomplishments in such a short time! I'm enjoying the view through the window to your new world.
Take care,
