Sorry it has taken so long to post these. Here are the pictures from Kimie's visit on New Years with Irene. Jon and Marie's weekend visit in January. Julie and Naomi's visit in February, and our impromptu visit to Portland last weekend.
Kimie and Irene's visit:
We rang in the New Year together, barely making it to midnight. It was a great visit, but fairly cold out, so alot of time was spent around the house. We did manage to take Phoebe on her first hike along Limpy Creek along a cold and icy trail. That didn't stop Ryden and Irene from playing in the water though.
Marie and Jon's visit was short and sweet. It rained nearly the whole time they were here, so we mostly stayed inside playing some new games Ryden had gotten for christmas and playing with his new toys, and of course lots of Phoebe time. We took a trip to the Saturday market for some Jam, fish, and salsa. Of course the day they left it started to clear up, so Jon and us took a quick trip to the park before his flight took off. Marie's flight was delayed both coming and going, I think she made it from the rain here right into the polar vortex that hit the midwest and east coast. Wished they could have stayed longer.
Julie and Naomi were next to come and visit. they were planning on staying an extra day, but had to cut their trip short, due to a nasty snow storm that was moving in to the area. While they were here we also went to the market and a trip to Pennington Farms, a local fruit and jam stand. We also managed to take a trip down to Riverside park to feed the ducks and geese.
Last weekend we took a trip up the coast for the weekend to spend with one of Zia's friends. At the last minute we decided to drive up to Portland to see the Eastern bluebirds Zia had been wanting to see. Luckily Kimie was gracious enough to host us on such short notice. We drove up and met Julie at the bird's last reported location between a golf course and soccer field which both were being used. Luckily Julie had just seen them before we arrived and was in the right area. They relocated them shortly after arriving, then we headed back to Kimie's house. It was a short trip but good to see everyone!!
Phoebe is doing great and has been spending her time during the week with Zia at the office, which she will be able to do till she's 6 months old. After that we will have her in day care. Likely the same one Ryden has been going to. It was great seeing everyone and hope it's not long before we see you all again. Also looking forward for Mom, Norie and family to meet Phoebe!!!!
Love you all
