The great NorthWest





Tim and I have concluded once again that we love living in the northwest. It is so beautiful with all the lush trees and mountains so close. The mild weather is also nice, even though this winter we have definitely been colder than usual.
So to enjoy the outdoors we all got bundled up and went for a hike in North Bend. My brother and his family joined us on this "easy" hike. My sweet husband thinks any hike under 2 miles and not straight up a mountain is easy. But my very out of shape, just had a baby 4 months ago, body, didn't agree that the hike was a piece of cake. Kathy, Avery and I had some good girl bonded time as we headed back down the mountain trail and let the boys continue up the trail. They were able to report that they made it to the waterfalls and had a great hike. And I'm happy to report that the muscles only hurt for a couple days!
Avery Saige is 4 months old today and so cute and doing amazing!

Here's to 2009!!

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. This blog will be my shout out to all, wishing a Happy New Year to you. We did not get Christmas cards out this year, simply because of having a new baby and selling our house is a bit overwhelming. Perhaps next time! We are excited for 2009! A whole new year and we are still waiting to see where we may end up (with the house selling)!! Best wishes to all.
