Weekend Camping Trip

A few weekends back, we loaded the truck full of camping gear and headed out into the woods. Camping with an eight month old is an interesting endeavor, but it was so worth it to spend some time in the mountains. The views were breathtaking. The air was clean. It even got a little chilly at night. Luckily there were four of us snuggled up in our tent so it didn't get too cold. The little man was in the midst of a long teething episode which kept him up for a good part of the night, thus keeping his mama up as well. I got to watch the moon travel from one horizon to the other and hear the calling of several owls, which almost made up for a good night's sleep. The next morning we took a nice little interpretive hike around Sheep Rock. It was a half-mile loop perfectly suited to three-year-old legs.

Let's See, Where Were We?


Weekend in Bend with Bridget, Randy, and Connor. We also spent some time with Uncle Jimmy and Auntie J-Dog but I failed to capture any of it in photos. Sorry guys!
Randy with a lapful!
Finn's newest obsession: beer bottles. Seems like just yesterday that Clare was doing the same thing.

The world is new and exciting from this angle. The boy doesn't want to lie down anymore!

Thanks to Bob and Carol for all their help, allowing me to complete this quilt in a timely manner! Finished size: 48" x 48". Lesson learned: a quilt this size is MUCH easier to machine quilt than that big one I finished before this one.
