SNOW

We're having quite the snow-storm today, and we took Maeby out on the deck this evening so she could enjoy her first wintry deluge. Sorry about the haziness on these, I should have adjusted the ISO and upped the shutter speed just a hair. Oh well; it's hard to adjust camera settings in a blizzard.

Also, this morning we went on a drive to try and find some Owls. They can often be spotted over on 53rd, in the trees. Alas, we didn't find any. We did, however, see a number of beautiful Red-Tailed Hawks. So, enjoy a few non-Maeby pictures for once (I'd almost forgotten what it was like to be out shooting things aside from my daughter.)

Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

Just want to wish everyone a VERY Merry Christmas.

Posts are probably going to be a little scarce with Christmas coming and a big trip up to Washington....We'll try to keep it updated for those who won't be sharing the holidy with us.

WHAT A WEEK!

(Editorial Note: For some reason pictures haven't wanted to upload very well so apologies if they look weird or distorted...It's been a long process to try and get it to work....)

WOW! We've been so busy this past week! So many new things and so much excitement! We played, we laughed, we cried, we got a little sleep…..What a Thanksgiving!

Great Grandma Jurgens came from Utah to see us and spend a few days with us. She was a lot of fun and we had laughs a plenty (as long as Great Grandma didn't wear her glasses).

We spent Thanksgiving up at Uncle Chris & Aunt Sara's house. We had far more food than we could eat! Maeby tried to suck on some – but she didn't like it.

We had a fun time after dinner playing Twister for the first time….

We went to see where Grandpa Jurgens is burried at the cemetary.

On Saturday we took Great Grandma out to the Ocean where we went to the Yaquina Lighthouse and saw so many awesome things! Mommy got to use her new wrap from Aunt Emily which was soooo great while walking on the beach.

On Sunday night, Great Grandma and Grandma helped us decorate for Christmas. Great Grandma and Daddy showed up with a tree for Mommy and we spent lots of time putting pretty lights and ornaments on and gave Maeby a reason to put on her new Holiday dress!

We had so much fun just playing with family….but by the time everyone left Maeby was so tired she slept all through the night (literally 10 hours) three nights in a row. Yea for Mommy & Daddy!
