I haven't had a chance to really take time off for myself in a while with all the work I've been doing. Which I love! But I did get a chance to go home to Oregon to play for a while with my family. My little bro. graduated and everyone came to celebrate!
My first experience with this trip was, of course, the plane ride. Can I honestly say that I loved how UN-eventful it was! Aside from the standard bickering, it was an easy trip. We got there about 10 minutes before they boarded us. There was only about 40-50 passengers total. I had an entire row to myself... kind of had to now that both my kids need their own seats. We had our lunch-ables, our circus peanuts, some books and yummy sprite! They only fought part of the time. We switched seats several times- not sure what the attraction to this was- but the kiddies loved it. As we were coming in to land, A noticed that our plane was parallel to a rather large Columbia river and it seemed from his window that a disaster was about to ensue and screamed, "WE'RE GONNA LAND IN THE RIVER!!!"
Other than that, no serious scares came from the plane ride occurred. We landed in Portland and the pilot tells us that it's a bit chilly and overcast. Surprise. Surprise.
While we were here, we kept ourselves busy. We bought A some birthday presents, went to imagination station, had a BBQ celebration, went to graduation, went swimming at the aquatic park, ate at Olive Garden and generally had a good time!

We smiled and cuddled a lot!
Hid in really scary spots that kept all the adults on their toes.
Played at parks! Especially on the swings!
Made silly faces and made new friends.
Lots of silly faces actually, some straight-up creepy!
We got in each others' way and gorged ourselves on junk food.
We celebrated change and a new chapter about to begin.
We were mischievous.
We loved, laughed, ate, and slept!
And now we're excited to go home and see Daddy!
