Portland!

Quin will start a graduate program at Lewis and Clark in the fall so we went to Portland to look for housing and check out the campus. The school grounds are incredibly beautiful and serene. We looked at a bunch of condos because we are thinking of buying one while Quin is in school rather than paying expensive rent. 

 

Kitty Party!

 

Enchanted Circle Drive!

We saw at least five families of geese living around this lake! We also saw lots of deer and some big horn sheep.

 

Horseback Ride in Taos!

 

Birthday Weekend in Taos!

We spent my birthday weekend in Taos. Mason and Quin stayed up late just to make me a surprise lemon raspberry cake and even made banana pudding for Andrew! How did we get so lucky to get such thoughtful kids? We did the Enchanted Circle drive, rode some horses, and enjoyed time in our beautiful Taos home.

 

Tree Spring Trail!

 

Sophomore Year of College Complete!

Even with a small storage unit near school, we could barely fit everything in the car to drive home. Those golf clubs and hard guitar cases take up a lot of space and the clothes; well, that's another story! You better believe I'm thrilled to have him home for the summer, and super proud of how well he did at school this year!
