central oregon family vacation!

We spent last week in central Oregon on our family vacation! It was actually the first time we've ever gone away just our little family and it was such a sweet and refreshing time for us. We spent our time reading, napping (a lot of napping), talking, going on hikes and walks, going to the beach (!!!!), exploring, and just being together. We had originally planned on tent camping but found out that it was going to be too cold so we decided to rent this little rustic cabin, and I'm so glad we did! The first two days were cold (so, so cold) but the rest of the time it was so warm and sunny. We really had a wonderful time and the boys loved spending so much time outside! 

Life, lately

1. We had a great date night. One of the things that I love about Portland are the awesome restaurants. 2. We went to the Sellwood pool with some good friends of ours. It was nice to cool off from the heat and feel weightless for a while ;). 3. Adam turned 26! 4. Elliot had his first juice box. 5. We went to the Clark County Fair and saw the Avett Brothers! It was such a nice time and a last "hoorah" of sorts before baby #2 arrives. 6. We've been doing a lot of sink baths lately; this mama can't bend down these days. 7. I've really been trying to soak up these last days with just one little boy. We've been having a lot of lunch dates. 8. Elliot was a little sick and so snugly. He just kept plopping his head on my belly. 9. I had such a lovely time getting pedicures and lunch with my sweet sisters-in-law, their lovely mama and all of my nieces. 

Now we're just waiting things out! Getting ready to have another little boy around this house. We're so anxious for you, little guy! 

Camping.

We went on a little camp trip for the 4th. Even though things didn't go as planned and we ended up coming home early, we still managed to have a good time and laugh (and maybe cry, a little) through it. We saw so much beauty that we otherwise wouldn't have seen if things wouldn't have gone so haywire. I'm thankful that I get to make these memories with my two guys.
