Afternoon Walks

Simply put, it has been beautiful here the last few days and we have been enjoying every minute of it. When we don't have afternoon plans, we make a point to take Jasper for a nice walk after everyone is up from nap. On our last walk, Sam told me he wanted to take the camera and take a few pictures of what he saw. He actually did not bad and really enjoyed himself. Here are a few of his shots with his commentary below.

"wow this tree is really tall. It goes up to the sky"

"Oh, I just took a picture of my shoes"

"Please stop so I can take a picture of these pretty flowers"

"S T O P spells stop. There is a stop sign!"

"Jasper is walking on her leash very nicely today"

"All those flower petals look like snow"

"I am trying to take a picture of myself but I don't know how"

"It is a beautiful sunny day out today"

Such a sweet and goofy little boy. I can just hear his patter as he takes his photos. And I must say not bad photos for a little guy. I love the one of his shoes and the picture of self of course. Give him a big hug for me.

Sun River and Portland for Mid Winter Break

Drew had a conference in Sun River OR this past winter and we made the call to tag along for a little vacation.  Things were slightly dampened by the fact that it appears Cole has developed car sickness since the summer. Ugh.  The drive was so long! However, it was worth it in the end and we had a wonderful time relaxing in an amazing little chalet, enjoying the snow, sitting in the hot tub, sledding and skating!  Couldn't have asked for more fun!  A stop at our favorite in Mt. Hood - El burro loco! A glass of wine after our 6 hour road trip turned into 10 hours due to car sickness!  Right before our Owl Walk.  We were told we could walk into the wood and hear the owls. What a bust!  3 cold and tired kids in the dark woods and no owls!  It's now a running joke in our home as the  tour guide kept 'hooting' trying to draw the owl's attention.  If we want someone's attention in the house we often hoot at each other now...

Thanksgiving

We have so much to be thankful for! We daily feel so grateful for all of the blessings in our life but it is nice to have a day to get together with family and reflect and relax. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend in Long Island, NY with Drew's 'east coast' family. Sam enjoyed his second road trip out to Long Island and did fabulous! He got to see a lot of family again and finally get to meet his Great Granny! Sam got some early Christmas gifts this year and had a lot more enthusiasm unwrapping them than we expected!

Reflections

North shore School District hosted an art walk this year to highlight student work.  The theme was Imagine and students were tasked with creating some sort of 'art' that reflected the theme.  Sam came home one day and told us that he had submitted something.  What came as even more as a surprise was when we were contacted to say his piece was a qualifier to represent the school in the district art walk.  Sam was pretty thrilled with it and with his ribbon and didn't mind at all that his piece didn't move on to the next round of judging.  His best bud Owen had his work submitted as well and they enjoyed hanging out at the art show.
