More From Oregon
Posted in family on Aug 24th, 2008
Our good buddy, Carrie, has already written about the second aspect of our Oregon trip, but I had a little bit more to share. Seeing Carrie, Tony, & their daughter was simply delightful. We had a wonderful time playing and talking as well as exploring the Edgefield resort together.
My friend, Shanna, recommended that we [...]

We have returned from a lovely trip to Oregon to visit my relatives. I hadn’t seen my grandparents in an appalling 10 years and even worse, my kids had never met this set of great-grandparents. It was wonderful to see everyone again, here are some photos and favorite memories from our visit:

Clara loves playing fetch and we play everyday. This is when I get some good thinking done.

We have deemed that Laurel Toki started walking for real yesterday. It must have just clicked in her mind that she could do it, and so she did it. It is not at all a bittersweet change, we are just so excited for her. You would be too, if you saw how proud of herself [...]
We went shoe shopping for the kids over the weekend and Oscar picked out a pretty sporty looking pair of sneakers for himself. As he was leaving the store with his new shoes on, we noticed how tall he looked and decided to measure him once we got home. Oscar has his own tape measure [...]
The Cool of the Pool

Last summer, after Laurel was born, I took about 8 weeks off from work to hang out with Oscar and give Anna some help with the new baby. One of the great things that Oscar and I discovered that summer was an incredible water park at one of the county YMCAs (for you San Diego [...]
