I have always enjoyed the zoo, I grew up going to the Portland Zoo, now the Oregon Zoo. The Bears have always been one of my favorite exhibits, this was taken in 2007, I am thinking that Andrew is much closer to the height of the bear behind Emma by now.
This was taken at sunset on the beach at Fort Stevens Park, in Oregon. I love the silohette of the wrecked ship just coming out of the water.
This was taken at the walk up pier at the tip of the Oregon coast line, where the Columbia meets the Pacific Ocean.
Another Place I love to hang out is with the Shepherds, Wish we lived closer so the kids (I of course mean Laurie and I) could see one another more.
The Older 2 only being 4 1/2 weeks apart still get along now that they have broken into their teen years.
The lilttlest Shepherd 'kissing up' to the camera.
Since I was litte I have loved the ocean and along with that the Light houses that guard their shores. I can't remember how old I was when I learned about North Carolin's Outer Banks but I knew I wanted to go there. When my husband's parents retired and moved 'back home' to NC I was set on seeing them in person. These are my 2 favorite from the banks. Cape Hatteras and Bodie are both set in fields surrounded by grass land, and tower above everything. We have visited bodie on every visit, it is just so striking.
This photo was taken last summer at sunrise 545 am to be exact and I just love that my favorite things are all together. My children, The Ocean, The Sun ~ all bring me great joy and remind me that God is every where and love me too.
I really do love my kitchen - I love to hang out in there ( or here - since I type this from the desk in the kitchen), I love to cook most of the time and bake all of the time, I like to smell the coffee brewing (every morning almost) and the chicken cooking (every night basically), I just really love my kitchen.
