Hood and Coast

Click here for photos from our trips to Hood River and Coos Bay this past weekend. Pat and I hiked the Angel's Rest Trail in the Columbia Gorge, while the kids were off yurt camping on the southern Oregon Coast. 

In other news, it's Dragon Boat season again for Emily. 

And here are a couple of then-and-nows... The boys enjoying the Oregon Coast in 2013 and 2023. Sweatshirts still required.  

And Easter 2023 and 2009. Never too old for Peeps. 

Marching Along and Wishing Drew a Happy Birthday

Happy birthday to Drew! It's an occasion we got to spend with him for the first time in a few years.   Click here for a photo montage of Drew celebrating his special day over the years - from Day 1 through Day 9,855 and counting. 

Click here for photos taken in February and March - from snow days to spring hikes, cherry blossoms, goats, games and more. The picture below was taken at a March tea-release event Emily helped facilitate for the non-profit she works for, Girls Inc. Portland's Smith Tea Company made a special blend for Women's History Month called Empower Mint, with proceeds from the tea's sale going to  Girls Inc.
