A new season

Oh man, so much going on. Well not really that much, just many many many projects, to-dos, concerns, and such running through my mind lately. Logan deployed and though I expected it would be different with two kids adjusting to semi-single parenting with a husband away at war really threw me for a loop! My motto right now is "Keep calm, carry on, and smile", it's tough but I've got a plan... sort of... and I've got support for sure!

So, I've finally gotten through all my vacation pictures and have narrowed them down to a mere 400 that I will put into two photos albums. I'm not sure yet if that's still too many but it's less than half of what I started with. We'll see I guess...

Anyway, I picked a small sample of our fantastic adventure :) The three photos that have all four of us in them and a few others just for fun!

Heading out from Portland to Sisters at the beginning of the trip.

Right: My 3 brothers, 4 sisters, me, and my nephew Henry (not looking)

On the porch swing of our KOA kabin in Mountain Home, ID
(I kinda wish we could have stayed there longer, Rowan really liked it)

Left:One of Rowan's favorite things! (I'm so glad we got him that suit)
Right:What Logan looked like through most of the west ;)

In Brandon and Lindsey's backyard in Laramie, WY

Left: Katie showing off her chewing talents much to the amusement of Lindsey :)
Right: Rowan being sweet, watching TV in a hotel in Boise, ID with his arm "around" Logan's shoulders

Maybe I'll be able to choose a few more and make another trip post later. Hopefully under a month this time ;)
