Visiting Friends in Portland

After we landed in Seattle on Wednesday we had plans to take off and drive down to Portland to visit our friends. But once we landed and got to Heidi-Lyn and Dan's home we had second thoughts. So we travelled down to Portland to Brian and Christina's home on Thursday. It turned out to be a good call since Wednesday was a tough travel day!

Brian and Christina have a daughter Ruby who is 1 1/2 years old. She does a lot and Caed loved watching her. In fact, after leaving Ruby, he started giving us hugs when we asked as a new skill. We are really excited! But he learned lots and had fun learning to stick up for himself too! Brian and Christina are friends of ours from DC, Christina and I lead our Bible Study and Brian and Jon were in the same group too. They are also expecting Perron baby #2 in the next couple of weeks! We are really excited for them. We had a great time in Portland- we hung out very low key at their home, but it was wonderful.

Benefit to staying overnight at people's home: Baby falls asleep in his own bed, and parents can stay up and socialize without any worries!

Some photos of the kids when we were playing outside with the big bucket of water:



Playing together: (a feat not easily attained with two under two's!)
