June 2014

In addition to the biggest event of June...Anders' birth...we kept busy with a few other things, you know, like packing, preparing to move, saying sad goodbyes to great friends, and cramming in a few last minute Oregon adventures.  Not busy at all ;)  As usual, I forgot/didn't have time to take pictures of everything, but here's what I managed to glean from our iPhones and camera... 

Happy Father's Day to this guy!  So thankful for him as both a husband and father.  As one last farewell to Oregon and one of his ski buddies, he went on a Father's Day ski trip to Mt. Adams and per my request, came home safely :) 

Nothing like a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee on your way up the mountain...well, if you like coffee that is :)

Saying goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma who were a huge help after Anders first arrived.  Thankfully, they returned just 2 weeks later to help us finish packing up and move!

Had to pick some raspberries before we left the Pacific Northwest.

Anders took his first bottle like a champ, so mommy could go out with some girlfriends.
Good job buddy! 

Just doing what he does best :)

The ever-attentive older brother, building a sunshade for Anders.

One last farewell to Jamison Square and friends from Life Group.

More farewells with neighborhood friends at Wellington Park.

The neighborhood kids.
What a good-looking bunch, and how they've all grown since we met them two years ago!

Kai built a little rock garden in our backyard as a farewell project.

One last fort sleepover with daddy in our cute little house.

One last Portland trail ride.

And one last visit to Pips (thanks Danielle and Michael for the gift card!!).  What better combo than freshly made donuts, vintage books and homemade chai?

Portland, you and your lovely people are missed!!
