Up, up, and away

Charlie took a flight to California to visit the Grandparents for a week before mom, dad and baby brother make their way down next weekend.  Adventurous boy didn't miss us one bit as he took off...

Shipping Charlie off with our dear friends Nils, Reese & Joanne.
"Captain Dave" was along for the journey too.  Good thing he was there to make sure Charlie didn't fly away from the strong wind.

Living the life of Riley

Sock is full.  To say it was windy that afternoon was an understatement.


What a quiet house we have at the moment .......

Ski Session

Headed up for a half day at Timberline for Charlie to get a bit of skiing in.  He'll be shredding before we know it.

Brothers

I will never get sick of seeing this...

Advent Traditions

This was the Advent calendar I grew up with and now I get to share it with my boys.  More memories to be made!

    

Baby it's Cold Outside

First snow of the season

Guess who's 4 months now??

This little peanut!!

4 month stats:
12.2 lbs (only the 2nd percentile for his age; very similar to Charlie)
Generous with his smiles - very social already
Loves to babble
Loves to drool
Continues to sleep through the night (love love love!!)

Marrowstone Island Thanksgiving

Second annual Thanksgiving at our cabin at Marrowstone Island. We had some sweet family time.

  The biggest turkey at the Thanksgiving table was you know who (evidenced by the crazy smile)

We got to enjoy gorgeous sunsets we don't often see in Hood River.

Lots of downtime enjoying each other by...

baking cookies,

playing leggos, and

rolling around.

This year, we were even able to sing Christmas carols and see the Christmas Tree lighting at the Norland Store.
