Labor Day Party in the Woods





Every year, we meet up with some good ol' friends from Seattle and head out camping. This year brought us to a State Park in the shadows of Mt. Saint Helens. We have a great time sitting around the fire, taking turns making the meals and wandering through the nearby hills. Of course, over the years the camping has changed somewhat. Kids! No, we don't have children. But some of our friends do, and this keeps us all on the lookout for wandering toddlers and fallen pacifiers. Things have changed, but we're having as much fun as ever before. Our schedule works around nap times and early bed times... but maybe that part hasn't changed at all!

Another change might be our furry friend Peeka. She likes to keep us on our toes... eating scraps that aren't scraps and barking at anything moving in the woods. Fun fun!

We also got to take our new wheels into the woods for the first time. As you can see from the photos, we packed 'em in and tried it out. It was great. The bed comfortably sleeps two of us and uncomfortably sleeps two of us and the dog. We'll work on that. We're taking our car-camping tent back... we're hooked on the VW.

We recently had family photos taken in the Columbia Gorge by a wonderful couple who travel around the world with their two kids taking pictures. I just love how they turned out!

Cora and the boys

Dave's friends, Scotty, Ryan and Danny, have been taking good care of us this week. We're thinking about asking them to move in long-term! Ryan is currently making us a fancy breakfast and Danny is still trying to find us the perfect Subaru Forrester to purchase.

Cora Biedel Nelson

We welcomed Cora at 5:41pm on Saturday, July 18th after 12 hours of labor. Thanks to the help of our wonderful doula, Carissa, we were able to stay at home for the first 6 hours of labor. Our nurses and midwife at Kaiser Sunnyside were wonderful and helped Lindsay get through the labor and delivery drug-free. We came home today and are already lost in the world of poopy diapers, feeding and getting sleep when we can. Oh the thrill of sleep deprivation! We'll be in touch when we get our heads above water.
