I'm Back....and do I have alot to talk about

Hi everyone...it has been a while since my last post. Now that Dad has the main computer back up and running, it is much easier than posting updates from Dad's IPhone. It is a cool device, but doing blog updates on it is not that cool.

So right before we went on our trip to Portland and Seattle, we sold the old house on Glencoe. Daddy got a call from the realtor while boarding the plane to Portland. Once we landed and found the hotel, Daddy had to get lot's of paper and we lost a day of sightseeing in Portland.

I did get to ride the train from Portland to Seattle on the Amtrak Cascades. It was great to travel for 3 hours by train. I fell asleep about half way there though and once again, I woke up in a new city. Once we had dinner at Ivars Acres of Clams and fed the seagulls, we got on the water taxi and went across Elliot Bay from downtown Seattle to West Seattle and met up with Grammy and Auntie Peggy.

We were there for 3 days and got to go around town and saw the Space Needle, Pikes Street Market, the original Starbucks, kissed the pig with the gold nose, the Seattle zoo and the beach a couple of times. We then drove down with Auntie Leanne, Mom, Dad and cousins JJ and Timmy.

While in Seaside and Astoria on the coast of Oregon, we got to see the house from the movie, The Goonies, the Astoria Column, the river front trolley, the Oregon Zoo, Tillamook cheese factory, went to the beach and shot of rockets, played in the sand and ocean and went where ever Mom and Auntie Leanne took me. I had a great time while were gone for 2 weeks.

I LOVE DUMBO! I found him at the Portland zoo. Can I take him home?

Then we came home and my room was gone. Daddy had taken everything off the walls, all my books were in boxes, all my toys in bags and clothes were all loaded up in Mommy's car and we moved in with Grandma and Gramdpa over in Aurora. We were there for 6 weeks and Grandpa took care of me every day. I got to do yoga, walked the dogs and played with my trains all day. I missed Nana very much but got to see her on weekends.

Mommy and Daddy finally got the keys to the new house and they worked for 3 days getting the house ready for us to move in to. I stayed up at Grandma and Poppies house while Mom and Dad worked down there. I did get to see the house on Halloween. We went and trick or treated around the neighborhood so we could meet our new neighbors. There are alot of little girls in the neighborhood, which is good for me, if you know what I mean. Here are a couple of pics:

So once Mommy and Daddy were done, I finally got to come inside and see the new place. Here is the best part of the new house...I finally have my own bathroom and a full playroom that is all mine.

So that is it for now. I have alot of other stories and stuff to tell you about but I am tired and ready to go to bed. Daddy is racing tomorrow so I am going to go and stand in the mud with my winter hat, gloves and cowbell and root Daddy on.

Bye for now...Mason
