Oregon Part Two

We finished off the trip with a visit to a petting farm and a picnic in Ashland, OR. We thought Co-co (as she is calling herself these days) might be a little timid around the animals...but boy were we wrong! She was chasing down goats, pigs and deer and had a llama running for his life! She even rode a horse by herself...quite the little cowgirl - not a lick of fear in her!


Chloe got a kick out of feeding Daddy cherries.

Say no to crack.


Swing time.

Oregon Part One

We just got back from an amazing long trip to Oregon! It's indescribably beautiful there. I could live in a cardboard box there and be happy because of the surroundings. Britton's whole family was there and it was just lovely spending time with everyone! My favorite parts were all the late night talks...just getting to know each other better. Chloe had a blast and continues to talk about her cousins, aunt & uncle and grandparents constantly!!!Thanks Wes for the lovely photos!

A little business

Please enjoy some of the best coffee you've ever tasted - Nossa Familia - our family's coffee via Augusto our brother-in-law whose family has been growing this coffee for over 100 years in Brazil! The coffee has won many awards and they take real care of their environment, their beans and most importantly their employees on the farms, offering education, housing, health care and more. As if it couldn't get any better than that...they also support charities of your choosing (from a list) with every pound purchased!!! Consider giving it as a responsible gift this Christmas! Yum!

Nossa Familia's Cafe at Portland's Ethos Music Center - great coffee and tasty treats!



Here are some more photos from Oregon and around the house...

We had so much fun hiking around P Land!

Little Cousin Matthew is too cute!

We're excited about our first real tree!
