Playing Catch Up
Monday, October 11, 2010 Wow. It's been a whirlwind couple of months. Here is a super fast recap of what we've been up to. :)
We've been driving a lot.
We broke down in Spokane.
It took a week to fix, so we played in Spokane while we waited.
...and Coeur d' Alene.
My sister flew into Portland and we played. Her friend Sarah joined in the fun.
We went to Cannon Beach and saw the ocean.
We had our first Stumptown coffee. Yum.
We stayed at the Salem, OR YWAM base with our dear friends and we didn't want to leave.
But we did. We went to Eugene and had our windshield replaced.
We ate yummy food in Eugene and went to the Saturday Market.
We acted silly and took pictures of ourselves.
We surprised our friends in California.
I drank coffee and sat by the ocean in Santa Cruz with two of my favorite friends.
I went to Hoopcamp while Daddy took care of the girls.
And now...we're back with the Thiedes for another week or so before heading south again.
If you want to see the "big picture"...I've uploaded all of my most recent iPhone photos here. Enjoy!
