One Month Vacation

Yes, I know...it has been quite a while since I have updated our blog....since halloween. We have been traveling up in Washington and Oregon visiting family and friends for a month. Just got back on Tuesday night...am home for about 1 1/2 weeks then back up to WA again for another couple weeks. We will be back for good after New Years...it is great visiting family...but will be so good to be back home. So here is a little brief on the last month in pictures.... (all pictures are in backwards order...so you can look from bottom to top if you want)


The train








Tami & Dani

Finally back in Portland (Gerry & Tami's) to finish off our trip and fly back home. Tami & I took the 2 babies to the Oregon Zoo lights....it was very fun and really cool to see!


Hannah wanted Andiee to wear one of her princess dresses...that didn't last long...apparently we aren't a princess yet!(=



Hannah posing...

Hannah cheesing for the camara



Such a cutie....and the perfect little baby...I don't think she cried or even barely fussed the entire week we were there!!

Matching cousins

It was almost impossible to get a picture of these two together because Andiee insists on giving Halle kisses if she is within 10 feet of her.

We are now at Tami & Tom's for a week to babysit the 3 little munchkins while they go back to teaching.

Hannah & Taya filling their shirts with balls



On thanksgiving day...we put all the girls in matching pj's....ask how easy it was to get a decent picture...Andiee, Halle, Hannah, Ali, & Taya (I feel bad for the first boy the comes into this family)



Sleeping Halle

Taking a bath
