Weekend Collages

Had fun hanging with the Hardys this weekend.  Sam, in particular, had a ducky time.  He is growing into such a little man these days.  We got to see him toddling around - he stomps around like a champ!

  

A coworker of ours took us to one of her favorite restaurants over in the Mosher hood.    We had their famous salt and pepper squid, bean sprouts, crazy everything soup, whole fried fish, and some other things.  Delicious!

Camping at Honeyman

Paul & I went camping at Honeyman this weekend. We got to hang with both Harmon clans and BrianM. [Cathy had to work all weekend :(  We missed her.]  This camping trip we tried out something new: Nora & Rod were kind enough to let us use their sweet pop-up tent trailer.  We loved it!

The Harmon kidlets entertained us with their scooter & fire-bending skills. Jer & Tanya fed us dinner & breakfast snacks and Peter & Krista hooked us up with much-needed French press coffee Sunday morning.   We all stayed up chatting around the campfire on Saturday night, eating s'mores and talking about aqua man, zombies, etc.

Brian and Paul and I went to Nana's Irish Pub in Nye Beach on the way home.  My sandwich and Paul's burger were nothing to write home about, but  Brian's house-made corned beef reuben and chocolate bread pudding were stellar.

Thanks everyone, for a fun camping trip :)

 

So tiny!

Helping Nancy with little Sofie today while Audrey & her dad are at the zoo. Look how teeny & sweet she is :)

She looks very wise, doesn't she?

Big Sister

Baby Sofie

Little Sofie was born today around noon.  She weighed 5lbs, 13oz.  Mom, Dad, and baby are all healthy and happy.  Audrey has been an angel for her Auntie Rose.  Sofie looks a lot like her big sister did, except her hair is quite a bit darker and she has more of it.  Welcome to the world, baby girl!  You are loved.

i carry you in my heart

I popped over tonight to hang with my sister on the eve of the arrival of Baby #2. I'll be taking care of Audrey tomorrow while the big event takes place. Here you see Little Miss Audrey enjoying her last night as a solo artist. She's unaware it's her last night as the absolute center of her own baby universe. She'll learn.

After the shock wears off, she'll learn that she's about to meet her best friend in the whole wide world.

I love you, Nancy. Every little thing is gonna be all right, querida.

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
                                    i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Kicking Off Year 36

  For my birthday this year, I decided I wanted to spend the weekend at the beach.  Brandi, Brian, Cathy, Paul and I stayed at the Inn at Cape Kiwanda and hung out at The Pelican Pub.  Friends joined on Saturday for a little lunch and birthday cake.  We had a lot of fun catching up.  Pacific City was gorgeous, albeit a little windy.  By the way, those aren't bedouins in the dune pics, Brian and Cathy climbed that gargantuan perpendicular dune.  They are such action heroes :)

 

Then on Tuesday, my actual birthday, a few of us met up for an impromptu happy hour at Rocket, followed by a late dinner at Doug Fir.  We stayed out a wee bit too late and I was moving a bit slow the next morning...  But, hey, what's wrong with a little indulgence on your birthday?

Thanks to everyone for hanging out with me. Love & cake, y'all :)
