Oregon Xmas

Click here for photos from what turned out to be a longer-than-expected holiday trip to Portland to spend Christmas with the kids.  We can't think of a better place to be stuck amid weather and Covid-related flight delays! 

Highlights of our time together includes lots of walks, games, and crafts, as well as rapid Covid tests that allows us to safely enjoy dinners with friends. Pictured below are the hand-crafted felt stockings Emily and Jake created for everyone, and the charcuterie chalet/village that was the centrepiece of our Christmas eve meal.  

As a Christmas gift for the kids, we created the holiday-retrospective photo album linked here.  Just click on the album cover once you are on the Shutterfly website to view the album.

Happy New Year to all!

PHL+NYC with Jake

Click here for photos from Jake's recent visit, which has included time in Philadelphia and a weekend trip to New York City.  We've walked in the Wissahickon, Central Park, and across the Brooklyn Bridge. We've also seen Christmas on full display in Philadelphia's Dilworth Park and New York's Rockefeller Center (not to mention Portland's Pioneer Square last week). 

It was Jake's first time to explore NYC, though he had "passed through" once before in 2007 when we sailed up the Hudson, as pictured below.
