Busy Week

We had a very busy last week with all sorts of visitors. Grandma Cathy and Auntie Em were here for almost a week. Aunt Babs, Uncle Dan and cousin Jackie were here for 2 days. It is so much fun playing tour guide! Piper also loves getting out and about! Here are a few photos from our adventures.

Happy 4th!

It's hard to believe that a year ago Josh and I were watching fireworks in Waimea Hawaii on our honeymoon! Now we're sitting in our own home watching fireworks from our living room window. What a difference a year makes.

Today was extra special, my mom and sister flew in from Minnesota. They are going to be here for the next few days. It's so nice to have family in town.

They almost didn't make it. My mom had a bike accident the other day and got pretty banged up. She cracked 2 teeth, needed 13 stitches in her chin and fractured her jaw. I guess even a wired shut jaw won't stop my mom from seeing her granddaughter.
Even though she won't be able to do two many crazy things or even eat solid food we're still going to make the most of this trip!!

Happy First Year!!!

Happy one year anniversary Josh!!!

I keep thinking that if every year after this one are half as eventful we certainly are going to have an exciting life together!

Only 19 days in and we were already expecting a little one.
I got a promotion, my position got cut, we bought a short sale, we moved twice, we had a baby, and to think we kicked it all off with a trip of a life time to Hawaii.

What a great year it's been and I hope to spend 101 more with you!

River Walk

Between me going back to work and it being our anniversary weekend we were all in need of a family day. We hopped on the MAX and headed downtown for a walk around the Willamette.

It was such a beautiful day!!!! After our trip around the River Walk we stopped and got ice cream cones.

We also manage to find some time to just sit, relax and people watch by the river.

It was fun to take time and enjoy each other and the city we live in!

Piper the Bookworm

I can not believe how much Piper loves books. She gets so excited each time we read to her. Josh said I need to quit reading to her before bed because she gets so wound up it's hard for her to settle back down.
I just love the fact that she loves books so much!

Fun Art Project

I really love all the fun projects on the blog CHILDHOOD MAGIC and I really love this Glue Batik T-shirt project! So fun and so pretty!!!

3 months old!

Piper turned 3 months old today.
She had a very big month.

She became obsessed with her feet.
She took her first plane trip and got her own set of wings.
She took off her sock.
She started grabbing objects dangled in front of her.
She rolled over from back to tummy.
She's starting to fit into her 3-6 month clothes.
We heard her giggle, unfortunately it was at 3 am.
She is struggling with tummy time... not her favorite time of day.
She loves books and being read to.

She's also gotten to spend more time with her daddy. I've gone back to work and Josh is staying home with her. They have so much fun together and always have new tricks to show me when I get home.

It's been a very big month in the life of little Piper.
