5 Month Pics

I am sad that my baby keeps growing!  I want her to stay this way forever!!! :(  She turned 5 months old a couple of days ago.  Here are a few pics we took for her Grandma...

From Gorge to Coast

This week we ventured out in the beautiful NorthWest and experienced some of the reasons why I love it here so much! 

Check out some of the pics from our visit in the Columbia River Gorge:

And here are some pics from our visit to the Coast:







































Yesterday a friend of mine took these pics of us at a park near our house:









Yesterday Ryan's brother's family headed home.  :(  Today, Ryan's parents and little brother got on a plane to head back east. :(

We had a wonderful week with everyone here!  And we have so many wonderful memories that we get to keep forever. :)

If you are interested in seeing the hundreds of pictures that I took (plus some that Susan took - I've been promised copies of the ones that Rance and Jess took soon), just check out our Photobucket album and browse through the various sub-albums.  Enjoy! :)

I'll be home for Christmas...

with all the in-laws here too!

(Well, not ALL of them... but all of the ones on Ryan's dad's side.) :) 

Here are some (LOTS of) pics from our visit so far... (Scroll over the pics to get the captions.)

We're hoping to make it to the Gorge today (if the weather stays clear) and then later we'll be BBQing. :)  More pics to come... :D
