Vacation in Oregon

Last week we spent some much needed time in Oregon visiting friends and family. Peyton enjoyed many "firsts." We went to the lake, wear Peyton got to sport a life jacket and swim in the lake. We also went to the beach to visit our friend Jeff. Oh, and Peyton started walking everywhere! We had so much fun. I got to do a lot of crafting with my sister-in-law Elizabeth.

Peyton enjoyed watching the firworks...we caught her gazing off into the distance...

We had a great 4th of July at Paul's sister's house. Their place overlooks Vancouver, Portland, and the Columbia River. What a spectacular view for fireworks. Peyton was able to stand and enjoy the fireworks from the balcony. We are so blessed to have two different families who love and care about each other. We got to spend the 4th with all of Paul's family and mine as well. Paul's family is always so welcoming in allowing my family to tag along. We love it!
