What I did on my summer vacation... 2005


Well, we didn't really have a 'vacation' this summer, other than the reunion, but Mr. D. & I did get away for our anniversary (#15). We had a 24-hour date - Considering our 'date nights' are few & far between this was an event!
We went to Salem, (where I lived when we were first dating). The most memorable thing was 5 minutes into our motel room I stubbed my toe so hard on the coffee table that it was bleeding. I had to ice my foot & I could hardly hobble around. We spent a romantic evening watching "MASH" reruns in the motel room! The next day we went to The Oregon Garden. It is acres of different kinds of garden 'rooms'. I took lots of pictures, trying to get some ideas for our yard - one of those projects we keep meaning to work on... Unfortunately now I hear they're thinking of closing it due to lack of funds. If you get a chance - visit it before it closes. The Girl & Grandma survived their first 'sleepover'. The Girl stayed at Grandma & Grandpa's house while we were away. She was very good - Grandma thought that she was worried we may not come back!

Ballerina Girl


The Girl had a ballet class for 10 weeks this summer with a friend. The girls & us mom's got together every Tuesday at Kids Club all summer long to watch our girls in their pink tutus 'dance' ballet. We learned all about "pizza feet" (1st position, heels together, feet angled out, looks like a piece of pizza!) and got such a kick out of watching our girls 'perform' each week. The parents sat in a room behind glass, that to the girls looked like a mirror. Funny what they would do looking at the mirror, not realizing all us parents were right behind there watching them. 6 little girls in pink cotton candy tutus & leotards - who could resist? They did a little performance for us at the last class, and we got to take pictures. The Girl came a long way from the first class, where she didn't like the 3rd rule of Miss Jene "No Talking", she managed to survive the class and now wants to take another class! We'll see... : )

The DAVIS Family

HI Friends & Family! This seemed like a fun way to keep everyone up to date, aside from our yearly Christmas letter. We'll try to update it monthly with the highlights of our lives!
