Photo Session with Drew

When Anna and I were in Columbus we were blessed to spend lots of time with our dearest friend Drew. We spent an afternoon at his home studio and here are some of our favorite shots. Thank you so much Drew! We love you and miss you very very very much!

Snow in Oregon = No School

The past two days there has been no school in the Portland area due to a dusting of snow and really icy roads. We are hoping to be off the rest of the week too! Here's just a few shots of all the fun things we've been doing to keep busy...I can totally be a stay at home mom if needed! I love spending my days with Anna and I think she was pretty excited about being at home too!

Fort Building

This is where we've been reading all of our bedtime stories. After about 2 books I start to get a little claustrophobic.

We spent this morning with Ronan and Aunt Amy playing and making ginger bread houses.

One of Anna's all time favorites....hugging Rowan!


We've made many trips outdoors to play in the snow.

Anna's favorite part of going outside in the snow is coming back in to drink hot coco.
