Two weeks ago today, our third niece, Patrice Charlotte Kehrli, was born in Portland (much to the delight of her big sister Paige!) Now that we are in the NW, we finally got to see an extremely "fresh" Portland Kehrli (as Bob would say) - we met Patrice when she was just two days old! It was so fun to hold a new little baby and get a feel for what's to come our way. We loved meeting Patrice, seeing the joy on Bill and Rhiana's faces (seeing them with just one baby was NUTS!) and spending time with the rest of the family in Portland.
For now, the Kehrli grandchildren count is even - three boys and three girls, but come this fall, lucky number seven (our very own little miss) will skew those numbers once again - this time in favor of the girls :)

While we were in Portland we also got a new car! Kidding, but Bob did convince his dad to take him for a Porsche ride. In the 10+ years Bob and I have been together, I think this is the first time I have ever seen the Porsche out of the garage (and Bob in it!) although John does drive it once a week or so ;)

Our weekend adventure in Portland was topped off by a ride on the Columbia in the Kehrlis boat - the aptly named "claustrophobia." Bob took his first ride on this boat as a two week old baby and its been a great summertime treat ever since! Kenai was a bit unsure about the entire ordeal (the walk down the boat ramp, the heave onto the boat, the ride, etc.) UNTIL we got to a beach with a friend for him to play with! Our "water dog" loves the water - splashing, jumping and running...swimming, however is an entirely different story ;)
