Tis' the season of craziness...

It feels as though we've been on a dead sprint the last few months....my busy season at work; Dave taking his toughest A&P class yet; an incredibly busy, independent and sassy toddler; and a baby who is coming into her own.  Oh and did I mention neither child is sleeping these days!  We are getting quite used to sleep deprivation...
But we have had a lot of fun in the last few months as well.  We were spoiled and got to spend a week in Maui with family.  It was wonderfully relaxing and our routine consisted of the following: up at 5am, early morning trip to the beach, late morning trip to the pool, nap time, more fun (possibly another trip to the pool), eat dinner, do it all over again....PERFECTION.  Both girls loved the beach and had a blast swimming, as you can see from the pictures.  The trip ended up with my first solo flight with both girls.  6 hours on a plane crammed in two small seats with two small children = true exhaustion.  The girls were pretty darn good considering but I will never attempt that again, even though I survived this time. 




We are looking forward to a quiet Christmas at home and some long weekends with Dave on break from school and lovely paid holidays for me.  Happy Holidays!  We are so thankful for our friends and family this time of year, and always.

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!

Manzanita and more...

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...
