About us!

Welcome to the Ho family blog. We keep this blog on behalf of our daughter Lauryn Ho because watching her first (and second, and third) experiences has brought wonder to our life. She constantly reminds us of where our true focuses should be, and that there are good things and bad things to experience every day of our lives. We never dreamed we could learn and relearn so much about the world around us by seeing it through her eyes. So this blog consists of the moments we capture as we go about living, traveling, meeting friends and family, and exploring what life has to offer us each day. Now we have added to our family with Lauryn's little sister Elsie Joann. so soon you will be seeing more pictures of the two of them growing and playing together!

Lauryn (Big Sister) has an amazing amount of playfulness and love for her friends and family. She also loves volcanoes, balloons, digging for worms, dressing up, drinking hot chocolate by a warm fire, and holding tight to her stuffed gecko.

Elsie (Little Sister) was just born at the end of October and already there has been much excitement and anxiousness around her arrival. We can't wait to see how her personality develops and watch her learn from her big sister.

Stacey (the mom): Manages a marketing database for an environmental engineering firm. She's still adjusting to life as a mom and working on raising confident and caring daughters. She has a small interest in photography and that combined with living quite a ways from most of our family started her looking for ways to keep everyone involved and able to be a part of our lives.

Delsin (the dad): Dad is well, Dad - a stay at home dad who does it all from cloth diapering to making baby food to cooking dinner. When he isn't with the family or planning a meal he is drumming or playing warcraft.

Ho (the family): We strive to live by basic Northwest/Portland principles by caring for each other, our friends and loved ones, and our environment first before our things. We are always seeking ways to explore and try something new. We are on our third summer of gardening to grow our own food, we like to walk and hike, we are striving to live a lot more on less - check out those adventures at http://www.moreorlessinpdx.blogspot.com/.

We welcome each of you, our family and friends, to check in and see how we are doing as we continue our journey of growing up together.
