Sawyer has been working hard to hold his head up. He's doing so well that on Saturday we decided to try out the big boy back pack (Tysha was soooooo excited)! Here the little guy is looking back at me with those giant saucer eyes that can so easily melt the heart of any father.
There's Tysha looking wonderful and Sawyer looking awestruck at the new ability to see so many things while hiking at Discovery Park.
Who doesn't love autumn leaves? Especially when they crunch, crunch under your feet.
There they are my beautiful wife and my handsome son. Sigh. What a great afternoon.

Who needs Hawaii when we have beautiful beaches within a half a days drive? (Don't get me wrong, we also love Hawaii!) We had some wonderful evenings out and enjoyed dining at Tidal Raves in Depoe Bay, Cafe Mundo in Newport - complete with a live blues band, and Andaman Thai in Lincoln City. Those are our Top 3 Recommendations should any of you readers visit the Oregon Coast. Yum Yum. Good food always seems to go with good times!
We just returned home from our first Family Vacation. We spent five wonderful days on the Oregon Coast. I'll sort through all of our pictures and then post some and tell you all about what a great time we had on our trip! Until then...here is our first family photo (we took our tri-pod and did what we could with the timer). I think heaven definitely includes sandy beaches!
