Sarah is the Scary Monster

Grandma and Grandpa Powell in September

Grandma and Grandpa Powell with Sarah, September 2006

First day at school

Here are Anne Marie and Sarah on their first day of school: Anne Marie for kindergarten and Sarah for pre-school.

Anne Marie in Edmonds

A recent dinner guest

Sarah and Mrs. Poupée. (Ou bien, Madame Poupée et Madmoiselle Sarah).

We've moved!

We finally moved into our new house, and are surrounded by boxes at various stages of unpacking. Mark is fully installed at Portland Baroque Orchestra as its director of development and marketing, and is involved in Cappella Romana's next recording project this week and next, while Kathleen is holding down the fort with Anne Marie and Sarah.

According to county records, our house dates from 1890, but our neighbor (who works for the Oregon Historical Society) thinks it may be from a bit later. Mark has yet to visit the county to obtain the old title records, but there is time, God willing.

On the road again

I couldn't resist these photos of our two moving rigs. Breaker, 1-9, we're the Powell convoy.

In the old playhouse

Welcome to our family

Thanks for visiting. We hope to put up recent photos, etc. very soon.
