Christmas continued...

For Christmas we were in Bend for a week. It was so much fun spending some time enjoying the snow and taking the girls ice-skating. Here are a few pics from that day.

Christmas Time

After opening a few gifts at our house, the power went out and we decided to head over to Bend that evening. And so Christmas began with the Hackbarth family...

Ok, so I'm back. After a long period of no computer (Lilli managed to download a total of 80+ viruses...) I have quite a few pics to post. Enjoy!

Grammie's Knitting...

My mom is such a great knitter! Here are two sweaters she has made the girls. Thanks Mom!

Trick or Treat

This was our one and only pic from Halloween. Abbi was all about the Cinderella costume, while Lilli had a bit of a melt down and felt like she needed to come up with her own princess costume. Either way, they both had a great time visiting neighbors for candy...although, Josh and I probably ate the majority of it. I guess things come full circle when you become a parent!

pumkin carving...

I was going through my camera trying to find a good photo for our Christmas card. I found these from our pumpkin carving this year. It's hard to believe that I'm posting these now and it's already December!

My girls...

Here are some pics of the girls. They are getting so big. It's hard to believe that Lilli turned four and Abbi will be 3 in January! Crazy how fast it goes. The weather is changing to fall and lots of rain is to be expected. Here's a pic from a rainy day in their cute rain boots. This was probably the first pic I've taken where they both posed for me!

Roloff Farm

A few weekends ago we headed to Roloff Farm with our friends. It was a little insane. There was filming going on for the show, so that could have been why there was such a large turnout. It was cool to see it all and meet one of the members of the family-Zach.

Fall time...

These pics were taken the first week we moved here. The weather at that time was perfect outside. At the end of our street is a pathway that takes you down to the river. The girls love exploring down there. We have also spent afternoons swimming in the river--although it's pretty cold. There is even a private beach that we can play in the sand all by ourselves. I love the first two pics of the girls because they were so excited to be in this new place. They loved watching the boats that day.

More pics to come...

I will be posting some new pics of our fall adventures. We recently moved to a brand new town. Josh was fortunate enough to get a job working as a project supervisor for a remodeling company. He loves his job and he feels fortunate to be working alongside a great group of guys. We've enjoyed exploring Portland and getting to know our surroundings. There really is SO much to do here that it's overwhelming at times. All in all we feel blessed to be where we are at and we look forward to new friends and new experiences.
