HOME AT LAST

We spent most of last week on the Oregon coast, and it was a lovely time. While temperatures hit 107 and lightening storms took out power back home, Will and I were chilling on the sunny beaches.I guess they weren't really sunny beaches, but they were chilly beaches. Indeed, the clouds and rocks made me think of the Faroe Islands, my favorite place I've never been. (I got 3 hits from the Faroe's capital village, Torshavn, while we were out of town... hooray for the Faroes!)

But back to our trip. Julie took Nate for a walk, but he wasn't so sure how happy he was to be dressed up like a strawberry.

I thought the outfit looked a little girlie, too, but Julie just wouldn't listen to reason. Oh well, the questionable fashion choices didn't stop us from taking a quick family pic on the beach.

No, the picture isn't out of focus, we were blurry for our whole vacation. But we've taken antibiotics and we're all fine now.

We're safe back home, and exhausted from an all day drive with two babies who decided they do NOT like being strapped in car seats for extended periods of time. Hmmm, perhaps I should take a few days off work to recover...
