Taylor wrote this poem about what it's like to be in Birtville

Birtville

By Taylor Lane

Where you are guarenteed a smile,
And definitely a laugh,
Dart is weird,
And Carla's funny,
You do the math!!!
You'll never be alone,
With the feeling of home,
When you're surrounded by people who care,
We talk about everything from family to friends and food to underwear!!!
The place is like a roller coaster,
With more ups than downs,
Talking to Dart is like the part when you feel you are upside down!!!!
Toni and Justin are quiet,
But when Adam walks through the door...
Close your eyes and plug your ears,
It's not PG any more!!!!

Arc d'Triomphe....Paris, France

London Tower Bridge

Egyptian Mummy

Rosetta Stone

A trip to the UK

The British Museum

at some point did I say "snow, glorious snow"? What was I thinking?!

Second time in two days the truck has been buried...glad I park in the garage!

This was the second load of snow on the deck rail after yesterday's fell off....

It just keeps on snowing....

I don't think the Portland area has seen this much snow in December in years!

It's snowing again today....

got 6 inches of new snow last night and tomorrow afternoon we're supposed to get about 8-10 more inches....

A view of the Atlantic from our hotel on Sunday morning before we left

Okay Buster, can't you see I'm eating CAKE!

Carly was very fond of the cake

Okay let's shake our booties....

hmmmm it's nice to share

It's amazing what some ice cubes can do

This is Matt's niece Carly and along with Jude she stole the show...
