Cannon Beach Getaway

Jeff, Leana and I spent a long weekend in Cannon Beach, OR. Our first little family vacation! Thanks to some generous parents at Bush and a little luck of the draw, we got to spend 4 days in a secluded cabin relaxing and spending time with our little girl.

Fall Colors

The Fall colors are beautiful right now in Seattle. These pictures don't really do them justice. With all the rain we've been having up here we were lucky just to get an afternoon to walk around the Arboretum and stay dry. Leana loved looking at all the colorful trees.

Two Months Old

To celebrate Leana's 2nd month birthday we are headed to California to see friends and family. First stop Berkeley, then San Francisco, and then to Carmel.

No 2 month stats yet, but Leana's latest tricks include: sleeping 7-8 hours at night, pacifier addiction, discovering her vocal chords, and lots of cute smiles.

Hog and Grog

Today was our CSA farms annual Hog and Grog. We went out to Carnation to see the farm. Jeff enjoyed the hog and grog (but was not so fond of the fried pork skin)while I preferred the well stocked dessert bar. Leana chose to sleep through the whole thing.
