Seaside ADULT ONLY Trip

Beau and I snuck away without kids for a few nights.

Seaside, Oregon

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

No need for watches,

or laptops,

or cells phones

(except to check on the kids.)

 

It was so very nice,

even if the weather wasn't so nice.

 

Lovebirds still after all these years.

 

 View from our Groupon room.

NICE! 

 Before we left, Hazel drew this beautiful picture for us to take.

Our family at the beach.

Next time I promised her she would come with us!

Thanks to both sets of grandparents for the childcare.

Kids were spoiled sufficiently, of course.

Dorena Beer Brewin'

A few weeks ago,

Beau and Seth got together to brew beer.

 

The kids and I joined Caspian and Juna for some playtime,

and a delicious dinner.

 

A few snapshots of our afternoon...

PEEK-

A BOO!

A walk to see a friendly horse named Buck.

Cousin love.

The frigid temps didn't dampen his brew makin' spirits!

 For me? 

Oh, thank you!



Cousin gawking.

 Cutie-pie Juna.

Hopefully we can return soon to sample the fruits of the guys' labor!

WELCOME...William Patrick Jordan

My new nephew,

William (Liam) Patrick Jordan

was born on December 19th.

 

I FINALLY got my hands on the little guy yesterday.

 

We loaded the kids for a day trip over the mountains,

and through the snow,

to the Jordan house in Bend we go!

 Handsome William.

He was just over 9 lbs at birth,

and now is over 10 lbs at almost 2 weeks.

 A package of sweet with his daddy.

 Hazel LOVED playing big sis to Jack.

 I couldn't resist this look-a-like doll for Jack.

 Before we know it, William will be up there hangin' out.

Such a handsome big brother.

 Strong neck buddy.

 Darling profile in daddy's arms.

Awe.

 The kids couldn't resist the draw of SNOW.

 Jackie looks like Randy from Christmas Story.

(No worries, he doesn't eat like a piggy.)

 SO...

 MUCH...

 FUN!!!!!

 

 I don't want to go in!

 Just how fast were you pulling these guys Beau?

 Henley has MUSCLES.

Holden LOVED his ride.

 Fuzzy?

He was moving that fast!

Thanks for a great visit Jordans in Bend.

We adored meeting your newest member,

William.

Perfectly wonderful in every way.

Thank you Femeke & family!

We LOVE our window crayons!!

Hazel, Henley & Holden

Gotta go, off to the store for more Windex.
