75% of us have made it to Oregon

Chie, Kirie and Craig are now in Oregon. Craig has only been here since 2/19/2007, but Kirie and Chie came a month before that.
Chie and Kirie are enjoying going to school. Kirie had a "baby" last week: a ten pound sack of flour. She had to take it with her everywhere she went and always keep it in her sight. "His" name was "Dwain." Unfortunately, Dwain fell on his head one day when Kirie was trying to lock the front door on her way out, and he developed a leak. Kirie was fairly distraught, and since everyone else was already out, she needed to call a neighbor help her bandage him up and get to school.
Chie has a spelling/vocabulary test every Wednesday. It has been a challenge for her, and we are all helping her to try to learn to use the words she needs for that week.
Craig has found a few job leads, and has applied to a number of jobs, but no interviews yet.
Hideko is still in Kumamoto, studying to be a Japanese teacher and finishing up the last ends of us leaving Kumamoto. She won't be able to go to Oregon until Craig has a job and applies for her visa and residency.
