Wow! I really stink at this whole blogging thing. Holly, Madeline and I went to the beach to celebrate our 3rd year of marriage! Seems like it is going really fast.

It isn't long now till we will have 2 little ones running around. CRAZY!! We know it will be a boy and we know what we are going to name him but we are waiting to tell until he is born.

I also passed by my 1 year anniversary at CDI (much better known by their brand name MSR) my current place of employment. I am really enjoying researching water purification - most people don't realize it but as a company CDI also does a lot of work with non-profit organizations like PATH trying to find new cheaper ways to bring clean water to the third world where water-borne disease is still one of the big killers of children.
I also took a little time to hang with my dad and brothers-in-law (Ross and Alex). We went up Mt. Adams again. hopefully it will become a sort of tradition. That is my sister's husband Ross sitting at the summit. A great time - it was good to get to know the extended fam a little better - The wooden building is a hut that they use to use when they were mining sulfur from the summit of Mt. Adams - can you imagine working up there! (cup of noodle time)
