Hoyt Arboretum

It was a rainy day, but that didn't stop the three of us from taking a little hike in the arboretum. It was a really easy hike (good thing because Adealide was "done hiking" after about 15 minutes). It was beautiful of course, and one more reason why I love living in Portland =)

Punchbowl Falls

Adelaide and I took an amazing hike with our friends Frances and Kerry. It was about 2 miles each way. Adelaide walked a lot, and I carried her in the Ergo pack the rest of the time. She really loves being out in nature, and the waterfall at the end was so amazing and beautiful. It really was the perfect day. I can't wait to take Myles out there to see!













Alex and Kat's wedding

















It's been a busy month!

It's been so long since I've posted...we have been so busy! Adelaide has also been resisting bedtime everynow and then, which means less time for the computer. Here are some of the highlights since the last post...

Adelaide got a giant fat lip. It was so sad and lasted about a week. She ALSO got a new bike trailor from her Granny and Grandpa Jerry. Thank you!!! She really loves her new trailor and nowadays her first word most mornings is "bike trailor".

We found the perfect river spot. A big sandy beach with pleanty of room to spread out, and water perfect for swimming. Adelaide wasn't sure how to walk in the sand at first and was crawling with her arms straight...it was really cute. She loves throwing little rocks into the water.


I had been wanting to make her a sandbox, so made a ghetto version of a sandbox in a giant tupperwear box. I know it's silly, but she has fun digging in there, and insists sitting INSIDE the box =) (Don't ask me why she has her helmet on...she just likes to wear it anytime we are playing outside).
Adelaide and Oliver - best buddies.
Aunt Jessie came to visit. Adelaide loves her aunt Jessie.
This is when we were at the Grotto. Adelaide had to take a poop with no warning...and she is no longer wearing diapers, so basically dropped a turd in the bushes. Is that a sin?
Granny also came up to see Adelaide. She loves her granny!!!
and her aunt Jessie.
We have spent many days in the sprinkler in the yard.
