October 2011 - Halloween

This is the first year we took Violet trick-or-treating. She has been practicing (see earlier video).

ZigZag is ready to hand out candy with Oscar &Nana & Papa.

I really didn't think V would actually say anything when the doors opened because she is usually really shy at first, but she said "Trick-or_tweat" at every door. She also said "thank you" after getting the candy. I was really proud of her!

Libby, Jason, & Caspar (dressed as Dumbo) came along.

She VERY much enjoyed her spoils.

October 2011 - Beach Trip

We went on a little weekend trip to the beach in the middle of October.

 

We went to Seaside on day...

 

There was a cool swingset ON THE BEACH.

 

At Cannon Beach we went down to the tide pools...

 

V loved how crazy Zig gets on the beach!

And we had lots of fun playing in the sand.

Summer 2011 - Deck Building

Wind ripped down our old deck and built us a bigger, MUCH better deck. He started in June and finished up in August. It looks amazing. Here are some pics of the process and his little helper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finished pics...

 

 

July 2011 - more trip to CJ

Here are some more pics from the CJ trip...

 

Went to Jim & Shirley's house for pizza dinner one night.

 

Nana, Papa, V, Oscar, ZigZag, Wind & I all went to the beach in Crescent City . Despite it being summer time... it was pretty cold and windy... but we had lots of fun anyway. We ARE true Oregonians of course.

 

Papa and V walking on the beach...

Making waffles for breakfast!

 

Out at Papa's garden. V would eat anything that came right off a plant...

Coast Trip 04/11 with Dolatas, Ashbury-Galvins, & Goetzs

Two weekends ago (04/14, 15 & 16) we went to the coast and rented an AMAZING beach house in Lincoln City with some of our friends with little babies. We had an amazing time. We spent the days relaxing, going to the aquarium (one day), and beach walking... and the nights when the babies were sleeping... we hung out, drank wine, sat in the hot tub, and played board games.

Jill reading to 4 of the 5 babies in attendance.

Ania and Violet playing games while eating.

Naked baby time.

Octopus at Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport. It was VERY special to see him out and about.

Wind and V with Mat and Ania watching the otters eat their lunch.

Susan and Henry.

A nice family portrait taken by Brian.

The shark tunnel!

V and I touching anemones. She liked it. When she touched him she said "sticky". :)

Zig and V playing on the beach.

V chasing Ania. That is pretty much all she did all weekend... chase Ania or call for "Aya" when she wasn't as close as V thought she should be. :)

A view from our house.
