Just Returned

Today we returned from our trip to Portland where we visited Papa Tom, Nana, Uncle Lee, Aunt Rebecca, Cole & Jake. Oh yeah, and O'Malley!


Everyday, the kids played hard, napped hard, and then promptly fell asleep. DominicsMom & I were hard put to keep up with all five kids (D & J, Nana, Papa Tom, & O'Malley). Throw Cole into the mix and there was just a lot of screaming, dancing, and playing! Little Jake was cute as a button and all he did was sleep.

O'Malley also got a workout this weekend. Whenever the kids saw him, they would take off after him, either to give him a treat, catch & pet him, or to toss him a ball. After a few days, he did let them catch up so that they could pet him.

It was a very nice visit, but between Nana and myself, we took over 500 photos and movies, but then we did a lot! We went to the Portland Children's Museum, the OMSI, played in the Snow!!!, and went to Out of This World! So there were a lot of photo opportunities... It will take awhile to go throught them all, fix up the good photos and toss the bad ones. (And to think in all these photos, O'Malley didn't make it into one of them!)
