Washington Family

This November we spent Thanksgiving in Washington with our friends and family. We were so fortunate that Cameron was able to take off 3 weeks. It was such a nice vacation and break from our everyday life that we struggled to come back to reality! I kept joking that we were suffering from PVD-Post Vacation Depression.

Anyway, the cousins picked up exactly where they left off, screaming, playing and running around the house. Between the two brothers, there are now SEVEN grand kids. So needless to say, it was a riot. I hope we can do it again soon!

ZOOM, ZOOM, ZOOM!

I have to apologize, I have been meaning to post this clip of the baby for some time now, however, it keeps getting pushed back beacuse as you can see, I have been so busy. The video isn't the best, it is really short so it would upload fast; but oh well, you get the point.

My little Lohena, lovingly reffered to as "baby brubber", and as which he responds to, has decided to start walking. Early last month he started standing up and taking a few steps here and there. He is practically running and crawling is no longer an option. Walking at 10 months may have been applauded as a first child, but now that I have two, that now means double the trouble. I often look at him bewildered as to where my baby has gone. Needless to say, I am both sad and excited for a new stage in baby brubber's life.


So, here you go mom, sorry it took so long for me to post!

Pretezel Tree Trail

Last weekend was just so nice, we decided to go on a family hike. One of my goals this year was to see more and do more in Washington. So, we took the kids to the Pretzel Tree Trail. It is a short loop (0.1 mi. to be exact with a 1 foot elevation) filled with storyboards that tell the story as you go. It was actually very cute and perfect distance for Marcus.
