Very Important Guests

Blogging is going to fall rather low on my priority list as we get ready to move (more on that once a few details work out,) but I did want to share a few pictures and highlights from my Dad and Barb's visit to Portland last weekend.

Gabriella was sooooo excited to have Grandma and Grandpa come out to see her and as if having all sorts of attention lavished upon our little limelight seeker wasn't enough... Grandma brought her a ballerina Barbie.


Dad and Barb on Rocky Butte (Mount St. Helens is peaking over my Dad's shoulder)








We even made it out to the coast, although it was a bit chilly for Dad's tastes. Gabriella didn't seem to mind.


Grandma got suckered into a carosel ride. It was Gabriella's first time on a carosel and she decided to play it safe and stick with the bench

Juliana got her fair share of the Grandma/Grandpa attention. I love this picture. It wasn't posed at all... I was just lucky enough to catch a sweet moment while Juliana was hanging out on the couch with Grandma and Grandpa. Grandpa's hand is on her head and Grandma's hand is on her chest.

We did a bit of swimming at Dad and Barb's hotel. Juliana got to try out her super cute fishy suit for the first time.

This might be one of my favorite pictures ever.

I'll be putting a zillion more pictures up on shutterfly
