At the park in Maupin.

Together, on the slide!

Grace taking a turn!

Playing at Mimi B's!

The girls got to spend the weekend at Mimi B's in Maupin while mom and dad spent the weekend in Bend! Here is Allison on the tree swing.

Grace is giving Allison a push.

Our first race!

The girls ran their first race a few weeks ago! It was a 1k. Grace and I ran and walked and Allison and Brian walked the whole race! I couldn't believe it...thought for sure Allison might need a ride or two. At the half way point, they got to high-five a gal dressed in a cow suit...by far the highlight for both girls. It was lots of fun and we are looking to do another one!

Our first gingerbread house!

We had fun decorating our first gingerbread house. Allison thought it was much more fun to suck all of the sugar off of the gumdrops and then stick on the house. Funny girl!

Allison wanted nothing to do with Santa...however, her favorite doll at home is ho-ho (as santa is called)!

(Just for you Julia... at least I know one person looks at this:) Went to see Santa this weekend. Grace would get only as close as Brian's knee.

Ok...so I guess I remembered my password...now I just need to remember how to add pictures!

I think I did it! Here we are in Arizona over Thanksgiving out by the pool! Although it was sunny, it was only about 50-60 degrees but still warmer than the 17 degrees when we left Portland :)

Pictures from Christmas 2009!

Here is Allison standing at our coffee table. She is getting ready to walk without any help!

Random photos

Ok...Not sure how this is going to show up. First pictures is Grace riding a horse over Thanksgiving. The next one is of Allison and I sometime in November...and the last one is Allison enjoying her rice cereal! She loves her cereal...actually, she loves her food! Bare with me...still sorting this thing out! I have several months to catch up before moving on to current stuff. Enjoy the pics!
