Oregon Coast/Spring2016









 Langdon fought the waves and the waves won.



 









This happens


The next day the lighting was better and still no rain.



Grandpa is demonstrating rock throwing/skipping and Langy's almost got it.








Back to Eugene.  We're still working on the jumping picture.
 




Hey Taeg!
Hey What!
Are you ready?
For what?
And then something about a popsicle.  I never did get the dance right.

Channeling Grandpa Ralph

This is the official site of the future backyard swingset. Notice the four flags defining the future footprint.  To be completed in 2016.


I know this picture is blurry but the photobomber in the window cracks me up.



And you get a picture of Grandma's bottom because Lane was into the remote trigger.   

We went to see the geese where we may or may not have slipped them some bread.  It will always make me think of my dad who made regular trips with grandkids to this same spot.  
 

Running with the geese.

Fall Folliage on Fourth

It's almost official.  As of November 1, 2015, There will be two unemployed bums living in our house instead of the usual one.  Dave's a little apprehensive about this big retirement change.  Neither of us deals with change particularly well, and this is going to be a big one.  He has worked at Smith Food Sales for over 30 years and has always loved his job.  But we are looking forward to this new chapter and hopeful that neither one of us kicks the bucket anytime soon.

Missoula






I visited Shelly and family in Missoula the week before Finley made her appearance.  It was fun for me but I think Shelly's smile wasn't entirely sincere.  Then, 2 months later, we all gathered for Finley's Blessing and Tate's Baptism.  
We always have to capture our 2-year-olds adorableness.  I was trying to document the progression of Seth's ice cream from the stick to his shirt.  








 


 A couple shots of almost the whole crew.  I don't know what Lane is doing.  Or why Tyler and I are taking a nap.  Or why it's October and Avery is in her swim suit.


 


 We'll try again next time!  I love all their unique personalities.  Feeling so blessed to have them all in my life.
