{Visiting is Fun}

I adore my visiting teachers and so do my kids, (ya know new people they can tell their stories to). MJ especially adores them and just can't get enough of their visits. I snapped the below image of her with one of my visit teachers because she just wouldn't let her go - it was precious!

{Reading is Fun}

Just ask MJ how much fun reading is! She wouldn't let go of William's "We be Goblins" adventure for one of his one shot games and he was trying to get it read so he'd be prepared but she wouldn't have nothing to do with him taking it back! She kept closing it and then opening it like she was seriously reading it! It was pretty funny.

{Our Drive back Home}

images of our drive back home from Oregon starting off on I-5 North and then getting onto I-84 East, landing us back at home just as the sun sets and the sky gets dark.

This is Mt. Hood

I lucked out on this one as it was right out my driver's side and I pointed and clicked at the right moment - now this is good "drive by shooting"!

windmills haunting the gorge 

They really are a bit creepy

I love when she makes this face

half way between the world!

these old buildings are just outside of Baker

I had to stop and photograph them - even with my little "work horse"
