Alsea Falls

Just took a day trip over to Alsea Falls to check out the campground and trails. This natural area is only about 15 miles south of our house. Our plan was to camp there this weekend in our new camper, but we will have to wait til they open in May. Oh well, it was fun to explore.

I just threw this picture in because it is rare to get the three of us together in a photo.

Stuff in March

Just a few days ago Gabe turned 20 months old! He is doing very well....we are all doing well and really looking forward to nicer weather. Here are a few pics of us bumming around outside. The "fire engine" is a hand me down from the Mills' boys, and, until now, has only been enjoyed by visiting kids. It plays some very "catchy" songs. I guess we got lucky in that it still works after being subjected to winter time monsoons. (sarcasm :)

Last year, Grampa brought the Dump truck for Gabe, and he really likes picking up rocks in the driveway and dumping them back out. This may prove to be a valuable skill in the future.

We have had some success in the "potty", but I can tell it is going to be a long road with many "accidents" along the way. He does like to sit on the potty and always points and says "poop" as he walks by, but most of that is just for fun.

"Grandma Nancy" and "Great Grandma" came for a short weekend visit. We had a big storm when they were here and the power went out for an entire evening. We were able to make the best of it by visiting and reading by candlelight.

My little boy...always playing around...
