Flathead Bound





Just like the summer after Cora was born, we decided to head out on a road trip to Idaho and Montana to introduce Edie to a bunch of family and friends. Plus, it gives us an excuse to visit the Flathead Valley in the summer!
Our first stop was Post Falls and Coeur d' Alene where Edie met her Grammy Jill plus several aunts and cousins. We were also able to sneak in some time with good friends that had gathered in Coeur d' Alene for a triathlon.

Dave flew home from Idaho so he wouldn't miss midterms and the girls and I headed to the Flathead. We spent most of the week in Kalispell visiting friends and hanging out at Grandma Karen's house. Once Dave flew up to meet us, we spent a gorgeous weekend on Flathead Lake with Grandpa Bruce, Mimi, many more aunts and uncles, and LOTS of fun cousins! Cora had a blast chasing her big cousins around and playing in the lake. Edie was snuggled 24/7 and loved every minute of it. As always, it was tough to say goodbye to the Flathead.

The girls were fantastic travelers until the last two hours when Cora started getting a fever and Edie decided she hated her car seat and wanted nothing to do with a binkie! I suppose moments like those are to be expected with two small children in the car....

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!

Since my last post, a lot has happened in our household.  We took our first camping trip of the year to Silver Falls State Park and survived!  Cora even got to try smores for the first time.   Edie turned 1 on June 4th and just a few weeks before took her first ambulance rider to the ER due to an infection - ugh!  She's fine now...thankfully. We figure it's our first of many trips to the ER with two very busy little girls.  (On a side note, Cora thought riding in the ambulance was really fun!) I came down with a ridiculous case of Poison Oak that was awful for about three weeks and continues to haunt me.  It seems I'm quite allergic!  Thankfully, no one else got it.  Dave drove himself to the ER in the middle of the night for an emergency appendicectomy that ended up being (and still is) more complicated than normal because of the scar tissue left in his stomach from the car accident.  That was a few weeks ago and his...
