Getting Ready For Valentine's Day

Last week we had a playdate with a few of Sam's school friends. They all walked home from school with us and their mom's met us there to have some lunch, play and decorate some Valentine's Day cookies. Sam, Dorian and Claire are really good buddies and love to goof around together. Claire's mom and I joke frequently that we would be Ok with an arranged marriage...but alas, Sam still only has eyes for Paige. Sam and Claire swim together and Sam and Dorian play soccer together so he gets to see his buddies quite frequently.

Claire's mom babysits a gal named Jilly and she came along too. Jilly loves Cole. She calls him her boyfriend.

Cole loves hanging out with Sam's friends. I think it makes him feel pretty grown up. They are great with him too!

Dorian's little sister Araylia had fun too...and managed to eat a lot of icing!

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...

Going Places...

We're in trouble now!

A Day in the Life...
