If you obey all the rules you miss all the fun. -Katharine Hepburn

We are taking the leap...and moving to Portland, OR. I got the job...now to prepare for the move.

Meeting Family

Marcus, Faith, & Maxx, meet for the first time. It was so good to see a cousin I haven't seen in years! What joy to watch the fun. Crazy how the orange shirts were not planned.





Like we have know each other...we play.


We splash in the heat.




Needless to say it was a fun filled day with school and a play hard time at the park with new family.


Maxx was out like a light after bath.
Here's to Davie and the computer...to make it all happen.

Celebrating Autumn's Arrival

It is so hard to believe that Autumn is here...everywhere we go we are greeted by beautiful pumpkins and apples. Oh my goodness another magical costume is in the brainstorming stage...

Here are a few photos from this past weekend heading to deep east TX to visit my parents and Maxx to stay the night while Mommy does inventory at work. This has become apart of our monthly rhythm and is so special to the both of us. A chance to have clean air, relax even for just one day, and enjoy the outdoors. Inhale....Ahhhhh...
