Thanksgiving in Bend

We spent the week of Thanksgiving in Bend...exploring trails, mountains and sipping on some of the world's best lattes (from Thump). Andy's parents made the trip out for a few days, and while they cuddled with their Grandson, Andy and I were able to sneak away for some fun adventures.

Our first bike adventure together post Harrison


The dogs thanked us endlessly for their epic adventure along the Deschuttes River. Blue ran at least 1000 miles up and down the trail and attempted to swim in the icy waters. Max was content smelling all of the goods Eastern Oregon had to offer.

Another hike along the Deschuttes with the little bundle...Harrison is perfectly content in his awesome snowsuit.







The dogs crashed out in perfect harmony on the floor of our retro rental house.

Six Week Sumo Smiles

The first smiles and laughs emerge, pulling on the heart strings a little more. Harrison's personality is shining through with each passing day.

Check out Harrison at 6 weeks

Pure bliss in my first snowsuit... I'm ready for face shots & autographs.

Curious as always.

The First Month with Harrison

The first month was spent relishing in and adjusting to our new role as parents. It was fascinating just observing Harrison take in his new world.



Here are some of our favorite photos from our first month together.
