Willamette Valley

Long weekend at the Allison Inn and Spa, wine-tasting with great friends from Seattle. Thanks mom and dad for watching our little Auggie Bear!

Saturday hike

Santa Fe

Quick one night trip to Outside Magazine's office for a meeting. Downside- too fast to really enjoy NM. Upside- home now with my boys.

They have a Chinese edition...

Perfect Sunday

* Woke up early to find John still watching the Australian Open men's final (heartbreaker Nadal!)
* Took August for a run in the stroller and a big brilliant full rainbow kept us company for the last 15 mins.
* August took a morning nap, which gave John and I more time to snooze, read, and drink tea as the rain poured down outside. Cozy.
* After a grilled cheese, we went to the dog park. Is there anything more fun than playing outside in rain puddles with a 2 year old boy?
* Read new dino books from the library
* Fell asleep on the couch together, 2nd nap of the day for both of us. Is there anything more snuggly than cuddling up with a 2 year old boy for a nap?
* John and August had a boys night and made dinner and root beer floats, while I went to a friend's house for dinner.
* Our wonderful neighbor was at our house when I got home, with multiple bottles of wine! We stayed up until midnight.

Memorable trip to the grocery store

August belted out songs from Dinosaur Train the whole time we shopped...then puked apple cider and oranges (the store's free samples - I guess we went overboard) all over our groceries.

Then he kept singing as the nice New Seasons guy helped us clean up, while telling everyone who walked by, "I puked!"

I know people were giving us the evil eye but I couldn't stop laughing.

Still a dinosaur

Head butting sleeping bags (better than me or the dogs)

Snow!
