Bathtime with Granny

It was so good to be home. The valley is still so beautiful to me.

Charlie and Bridget

I swear their matching outfits was not planned; until I was taking the pictures, I didn't realize. The kids sure had fun with their cousins.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Charlie was able to fit into the baptismal gown that my godmother made for me...my sister and her husband were the godparents and Henry served as the reminder to all that I've only recently begun attending church with any regularity. He immediately removed his shoes and socks and proceeded to have the run of the church. Thanks to Granny and Kathy, he was sequestered to some degree.

To Market, To Market

The drive to LaGrande was made just in the nick of time...we got through the Gorge about two hours before they closed it for a couple of days.

Jared was absolutely thrilled that the 4 hour drive suddenly turned into seven

It's my party and I'll have fun if I want to

I got to get together with some friends from work for some much-needed alone time! Here's the hostess with the mostest and the spread provided by all my friends.

Aparrently, a couple chuckles in the back row thought they were at a family photo shoot circa 1985 ;)

It's crazy how fast life changes...the second picture was taken just over a year ago (August 07) on the same couch, but in a different house, different throw pillows and, oh yeah, one more kid!

I had to put this one in, because he was obviously in the middle of a sneeze and I couldn't stop laughing when I saw it...

The W squared kids

Fun times at the White's House!

Ahhhh.The Dress-up box!

Here I am!

Gosh, Charlie looks like he could be part of this family.
