Playing Catch-Up

Ok, so my "turning over a new leaf" didn't really work out... so, I'm trying again! We have been pretty busy - here is a little catch-up in photos.


Giving the thumbs up at the doctors office... such a trooper!


Looking suave on Easter


Hangin' out with Grandpa


with Daddy at the Tulip Festival


Mommy and Reeves at the Tulip Festival


Trying on some wooden shoes at the Tulip Festival - which is held at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm... hence the wooden shoes :)


A quick family photo from a very special spot on the Oregon Coast...
There are a lot more... but hey I gotta start somewhere! :)
Tomorrow is a big day for us... our first post-placement visit!
