Birthdays and Oregon

We're slowly getting back into the swing of things now that Nate and Owen and I are returned from our trip to Oregon, and finally acclimated back on 'east coast' time. We had a fantastic visit - highlights included many reunions with great friends, beautiful scenery, a gorgeous wedding on the McKenzie River, and celebrating Owen's first birthday. Here are some photos from our trip.


Owen turned 1 on Sept. 10, and Kelly's family presented him with his very own cake to eat (err, destroy!) all by himself - the clean up was an adventure, but the photos were worth it! I, too, celebrated a birthday this week - #34 on Sept. 15. Nate made me a tasty scamp dinner and got a delicious cheesecake for dessert. We've been enjoying it for many days since....

Parting shot: standing practice!
