Love and snow...

We had a fun and busy week at the French house.  My son is coocoo for Valentine's day.  So much so that he had to sleep with them that night.

Yesterday we went snowshoeing . It was awesome.  It was so warm we ended up taking our coats off.

Yes Tara, I still have the sunglasses.  The problem with buying the most ridiculous pair is that you end up looking like a goon because it is the only pair I have.  Lovely!!!

                                                                                             

                                                                                                         

It's raining, it's pouring....

Believe it or not it has been pretty rainy in lovely Portland lately.  Because of this we are extremely grateful for all the places and activities that keep little buggers busy in the soppy winter months.  Tuesday Bridger and I went to a new play park with our friends Ada and Nora and today we went to 100th Monkey Art Studio for a really neat art class.  We made moon sand!

We had a fun Sunday!

Yesterday we went to the Adubon Society with the ladies.  On the first Sunday of every month a bunch of talented muscicians get together to jam and play Bluegrass.  Needless to say Bridger loved it!  He joined the circle and made friends with a mandolinist.  

A very interesting group!  The older gentleman was my favorite!  He really got into it...

We spent the evening with the ladies.  We went to Peacock Lane to check out the lovely Christmas lights.  Bridger loved it!  

Scout got an over-the-top Christmas outfit for a gift, so we had to get a shot of the 2 buddies showcasing it in all it's splendor.

What can I say? We work this boy hard.

Tis' the season! Now that we have a new computer it is much easier to post photos! So I am planning on getting on that horse one more time...(Also, no offense to Lily, but a little birdie told me she was getting sick of looking at the picture with the cat)

Do you think they had a good time? I am not sure Lily (the cat) would feel the same way...

I was trying to be committed to the cause but dang Blogger wouldn't let me!

Bridger and I went to Grant Park today. He thoroughly enjoyed the Beverly Cleary statues.


The only thing better than riding a metal dog is doing it while eating shortbread.

Bridger and I took a nice fall walk today. Nothing is better than looking at the out doors through the eyes of a two-year-old.


Scratching his behind on the tree....

pointing out the moss on the sidewalk...



and sneaking up on some unsuspecting creatures.

Here we go again...

We went to the lovely Central Oregon, yet again, for another magnificent visit. This time we had the pleasure of taking Poppa Cliff and Grandma Linda with us. We took a hike around Todd lake, this is a shot of Mount Bachelor, one of Oregon's skiiable peaks...

The last night we were there, there was a thunder storm. We went out afterwards to catch the sunset. The rainbow, and cloud formations were amazing!



(Blogger won't let me flip the pictures, so tilt your head and enjoy!)

Bridger loved running in the puddles.






On the way home, the little man was tired and had a face full of bar.

Music runs deep in the family.

Just a little extra shot of Bridger and Scout enjoying the company of their favorite red monster, ELMO!!!

For obvious reasons Bridger had one of the best days in his little life. Thank you Auntie Tara and Uncle Grant!!!
