Alex and Mary Visit...... in JULY

I have totally dropped the ball on keeping up with the blog. Work began and visitors kept pouring in and then everyone got sick.... for like the whole month of September. I honestly don't even know where September went! I have to say it again: for those of you with children who work full time - props to you for getting anything else done besides everything directly related to raising your children. I only work two days a week, but with two kids in the mix now and home ownership to keep up with, it's a wonder how Adam and I manage to get a minute to talk and spend time together at the end of the day!

Moving on. Our next round of visitors were Alex (Adam's brother) and Mary (his girlfriend). We were very busy showing them the sights of Central Oregon. They were able to climb South Sister Mountain, try out some of the mountain biking trails, see Tumalo Falls, and check out the McKenzie River trail and waterfalls. Brewfest was going on (thanks to Mary to bringing that to our attention), which was a perfect way to get a feel of the fun events and festivals that are always going on around here. We hope you guys had fun! I know we did (and Noella sure loved it. Hattie was pretty indifferent)! Thanks for coming to see us!!!!!

Here are just a few pics. Along with everything else that gets put by the wayside, taking pictures has joined that group!


Snuggle time on the couch.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the trail running race they participated in too! Go getters! (Alex placed 3rd in his category, Mary - I think you placed 4th?!).

You can never have too many buddies.
