Palm Springs

We had a great vacation in Palm Springs in April. We swam every day, visited Joshua Tree National Park, fed a giraffe, rode the tram to hike in a pine forest, checked out nearby dinosaurs and capped the week off visiting with Emma and Anders.

Yea for sun

Easter eggs

This video is too large to put on the blog but too fun not to share.

Happy Easter!

Foot Buddies!

Aunt Molly came to stay with us in February. The weather was pretty gray but she still loved Portland. We had a good time clowning around!

Cannon Beach in January

Grandpa came to visit and along with a trip to the zoo, accordion concerts and introducing Imogen to Bugs Bunny on youtube, we spent a day at Cannon Beach including some barefoot splashing in Pacific, in January, in Oregon, as you do.

Christmas cookies, by Imogen.

Or, How to Trash Your Kitchen In Under 10 Minutes.

Most importantly, we had fun, we ate too many cookies, and I didn't spend hours making dough from scratch and cutting out gingerbread men and nutcrackers.

The beach in November

It was sunny on Sunday so we bundled up and headed to the Coast for a little time in the sand.  It may not have been warm but a good time was had by all.

Super Grover!

I'm quite delayed in posting this, but we had a great Halloween. Imogen requested her costume - Super Grover - and loved Trick or Treating. We didn't even explain it ahead of time, but no surprise that she figured it out immediately and loved it. Some pics...
