What happens when Papa is left alone with M? Lots of smiles and lots and lots of pictures.


We took a drive up the Cascades Lake Highway this weekend. We stopped at Sparks Lake for a picnic and some pictures.

It was a busy week.
Nana’s visit came to a close.



M turned two months. We could not choose just one picture...

He requested carrot cake to celebrate.

And Ya Ya and Papa arrived after a NW tour.

This was a major sightseeing week for us. The Nan, M, and I went to Crater Lake on Monday.


Nan, M, and I went to Smith Rock on Thursday and then Nana, M, and Kyle went on Sunday. I swear this hat said it was for infants.




M is quite a smiler lately. Must be all the attention from doting grandmothers!


Nana and M.

Check out these new duds from Nan. Em’s first time wearing pants! We love the kimono style top...so easy.

My name is Lil’ E

and I’m a handsome fellow.

Today I’m wearing stylish duck PJs.

Nan goes to bed exhausted every day. Cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, taking Em for walks, changing diapers...it never ends.

It was cold on Saturday. We went with a layering approach.

Hi, Mom.


I’m tired. It’s hard work being so cute.

Check out my red socks.

Em loves to talk to Nan. Here he is in the act.

This is our new outdoor 100m lap pool. We’ve been enjoying swimming in the sun, but the roof is going on next week for the winter.

Lunch on Saturday at Jackson’s Corner in downtown Bend. Chicken curry soup and a pulled pork with roasted red pepper sandwich for Bec,

and salmon chowder with a bacon caprese sandwich for The Nan.

Em stayed home and had a bottle.
