Portland in November

Many apologies for the blog hiatus, life has been busy in our household. Lately, we've been preschoolin' and christmasin', along with the end of another semester and celebrating another birthday (Happy 39 to Mickey!).

Anyhoo, here are many fantastic shots from our trip to Portland, OR this past November for Mickey's book appearances and the celebration of our anniversary. The first night we were there Molly declared "The wind beautiful, the trees beautiful, and the smells beautiful." Clearly, she loves Portland as much as we do, despite this being only her second visit. Enjoy all the Molly-in-the-Pacific-Northwest-in-Autumn loveliness!

Reason #5,999 why Portland is the perfect city: There are animals, often ride-able, all over the city. Here, Molly demonstrates the Pig

Picking out dessert (She kept saying "Devil cake," which we realized was the chocolate Devils food cake in the back. Smart girl.


We love you Portland. xoxo
