Fishing Trip

We had a great time a couple of weeks ago in Maupin, OR, a little town on the Deschutes River. We stayed in a great lodge with our friends Dianna, Aaron and their baby Julia who just turned one this week! Chris got to try fishing a little bit and although they didn't catch anything, we all had a lot of fun!! Here are some photos from that trip.

Lucy loves to sing to Daisy

Here is Lucy singing her renditions of Ring around the Rosies and Happy Birthday to Daisy Dog. Daisy seems thrilled :)

Lucy loves to count

Lucy has really become really good at counting from 1-10 and she will be playing and we'll hear her just start counting to herself. It's hard sometimes to get her to do it on cue, but here are some cute videos of her demonstrating her math skills!!!

Eagle Crest

This past weekend, Lucy, Chris, Daisy & I headed down to Central Oregon, near Bend to the Eagle Crest resort. This resort is awesome! There is something for everyone. Two beautiful 18-hole golf courses, 3 large swimming areas, indoor and outdoor with kiddie pools, lots of playgrounds, tons of great paved bike trails, nearby hiking trails, the Deschutes river, and some great restaurants in Bend. We had fun swimming with Lucy, and we rented bikes and biked all around the resort. Lucy thought being on the bike was great, she was behind me saying "Woo Hoo!" We also had some great food...we visited the Deschutes Brewery in Bend, OR and had baby back ribs, so tender that just fell right off the bone and some really really tasty "sweet & spicy mac and cheese." So yummy. We also found a great breakfast spot called McKay Cottage in Bend, and we enjoyed Eggs Benedict with fresh lobster, shrimp and crab and Chris ordered the croissant stuffed French toast with marscapone cheese and strawberries. Unbelievable! All in all, it was a wonderfully fun and relaxing weekend! If any of you get the chance to visit Bend, I would highly recommend staying at Eagle Crest, there are lots of condos you can rent too for families.

Oregon State Fair

Lucy, Chris & I had a wonderful time at the Oregon State Fair. The petting zoo was probably the highlight. They had deer, a little pig, goats and lots of other cute animals. Lucy loves animals!!

California trip

The first week in August, we went down to California to visit family and friends. We had an awesome time just hanging out and doing day trips to the SF zoo, the California Academy of Sciences and playing with Lucy's cousins!

Here's a cute video of Lucy's cousin Emma reading her a story...Lucy is really into it!

Lucy's first dental visit

Lucy always has fun coming into the office. A few weeks ago, I actually got her into the chair and cleaned her teeth a little bit! She got a little fed up with me toward the end, but I think she had fun. Here are some pics.
