Winter Happenings

 My parents came for a nice visit. We went to the zoo, shopping, dined out, crafted (with my mom), and enjoyed Russell. Can you believe this is the ONLY picture we took-well the only one I took. I am sure my mom has every moment captured on her camera!

 While my parents were here, Brian surprised me with a overnight stay at the Columbia Gorge Hotel. Kinda an early Anniversary (7 years in April!) celebration. It was so fun not setting an alarm or having little footsteps wake us up before dawn!

 Russell LOVES to help Brian around the house. He uses his lawn mower as a vacuum. He even pretends to plug it in on makes motor sounds. This particular day, I guess he felt it was gonna be a dangerous adventure so he donned his helmet!

Enjoying his tractor in the rain/snow. We usually get some outdoor time awaiting Daddy to return form work. It is an exciting time as the mail truck comes the, too. Russell thinks the US mail system is AWESOME!And lastly...we got to see the first ultrasound of Russell's sibling!!! Due to join us mid-September!
