Phinehas' First Soccer Season

We figured it was time that something was about Phinehas... Usually he is the forgotten child - not one of the "big boys", not one of "the girls," not exactly the middle child, but he might as well be because the middle child was also the first girl, which is sort of its own special spot. Anyway, he wanted to play soccer, so here he is:

Stopping the ball!

The hazards of soccer watching in Oregon..

Smiling for his professional picture!

He wasn't exactly a soccer star, but he was the fastest kid on the team. It's possible that he was extremely proud of this fact.... and if you should happen to refer to him as "The Flash," he would beam in a quite un-Phinehas-like fashion.

When you go to a wedding...

And you take pictures! This was at the wedding of Luke and Maria Dahlin, who thoughtfully provided a photo booth for their guests, run by Peter Mahar.

My three boys with their friend John - and Simon (behind John's hair).

The Theatre, the Theatre .. the OSF Theatre in Ashland

Our Trip To Ashland, OR in July We've been wanting to take our kids to see some plays in Ashland, OR for several years but this year we finally made the leap! We were scheduled to see Love's Labor's Lost in the outdoor Allen Elizabethan Theatre, Henry V in the Thomas Theater and Othello in the Bowman Theatre, but we only made it to the last two. Sadly, the first one was cancelled due to the wildfire smoke in the area, that was kind of off the charts and unhealthy to breathe - and there's no way to filter it out in an outdoor theater! Still, we had a pretty good time, and the kids enjoyed Henry V, which ended up being the only one they saw. It was a good one, though, and in a theater that is so small that anywhere you sit you are only yards away from the performers.
