Day of Labor/Easter Egg Hunt

These photos were taken at our local community house, blocks from where we live. The egg hunt was just 4 hours before I delivered Ike, and at the time I had not a clue we would become a family of four that day.

39 Weeks!!

Finally Some Sunshine

Digging for Worms

Digging in the dirt and looking for worms is a new favorite activity of Solaris!!

My fab friends had a surprise shower for our family and baby boy. Here are a few photos from that event, courtesy of the hostess GS. You guys are amazing-we love you!

38 Weeks

This was taken a few days, making the best of the endless rain. Thankfully today, the sun is shinning, and is supposed to stick around for the week.

I Am Over This Rain

This weekend we attended our first wedding right in downtown Portland. It was a lot of fun, and I am proud of myself for lasting until 11, being 37 weeks pregnant (although I am fighting off a cold now though....perhaps I over did it). This photo of Fritz and myself is not so great, but so be it!

Chapman School Park

These adorable 5th grade girls, set up to face paint and sell bracelets at the park, $1 each. Solari was their first customer!!

Playdough Earings

More Rain Fun!

Brief glimpses of sun makes us happy. That sunshine vacation we had 4 weeks ago, seems too distant.
