Barefoot and pregnant in.... a bog. ;)

Here are pictures my friend took (Morning Bells Photography) a couple weeks ago of me, Dame, and baby #4, due to arrive on the 16th.  I love these pictures and am so happy to have them -thank you Michelle!  :)  It's hard for me to pic a favorite, but Noel says the best one is the one he snuck into.  Yep, Noel, we didn't even know you were there.  ;)

New Years Day @ Multnomah Falls

It seems to be that we're starting a bit of a tradition... for the past 3 (or 4?) years we've made the short journey out to Multnomah Falls on New Years day.  :)  This year it wasn't frozen, but it was still beautiful to see.  It was very windy, though, so we didn't linger too long.  Poor Emma could hardly walk down by the parking lot where the winds were strongest.  It's fun to compare pictures from these visits each year and see the kids grow (and multiply).  Of course, Damian and I look the same since we don't age at all...  Ha.  ;)

More Christmas pics...

Here are some more pictures from the girl's visit.  We all went to ZooLights one night.  I was surprised with how beautiful and well done it was.  I haven't been there in years, and they've really done a great job.  The whole zoo is lit up, even the train.  So we took a ride and enjoyed the lights.

 Maddie is still shy with all life sized, moving stuffed animals.  Emma doesn't look too sure either.

 Our train pulling in.

Emma didn't want to leave.  She loved all the lights.  But it got cold fast, so we called it a night.  Until next year...   :)
