the life and times...

Here is what has been going on in our life according to my iPhone:

 Face plant!  Can't keep this boy out of the trees.

Portrait by Wally.

An inquisitive patient.

Completely amazing Coldplay concert. 

 Auntie Lisa comes to visit in Sunriver!

 Why not slice your thumb open, drive yourself to urgent care and get six stitches the first day of moving? For a bonus get your tetanus and pertussis shot, no chance of whooping cough here!

 The strangest rainbow out my window, flat and wispy like the Northern Lights.

 A weekend in Gig Harbor to celebrate our soon to be new cousin!

 Talented Gramma's quilt for baby.

 Auntie Bridget with cute baby belly. 

 Steamers and muffins @ Strictly Organic.

 Legos.  Always.

 Sticky dessert.

 Critters in the pantry beware... Current body count: 2.  Yuck.

 My post barre3 ritual.  Kindle and a cup of tea @ Backporch.  

 Another glorious day.  Ready to wear out Grandaddy's legs!

 Goofing on Bond Street.  

 Lovely walk at Shevlin Park with Gramma and Grandaddy.

It's been a pretty busy month.  Definitely a great one!

Pizza for dinner! 

to the rink we go

 If you look closely at the reflection in the window, you'll see that Tana (still in her elf jammies) was very much apart of this cookie decorating session.  She loves to participate in cookie time!  

So does Wally!  

presents under the tree

All kinds of wonderful things arrived in the dark of night on Christmas eve.  When we woke up (after stalling a long time upstairs with shows on the iPad), we came down to find Santa's bounty under the tree.  Too many wonderful things to list, but most importantly walking sticks from Santa, Hungry Hippo from Auntie Bridget and Uncle Michael and watches from Gramma and Grandaddy.  Wally just could not be swayed from his walking stick request, so with a Christmas eve trip to Joann's and glue gun in hand, Santa made it happen at the last minute.  Later in the afternoon we all went for a short hike on the Deschutes and gave the walking sticks a spin.
