Photos, Photos and More Photos...

Hello! I can't believe it's already September and we've been in Dayton for almost an entire month! We are doing well but still have no home to call our own. However, we are hoping to find out today if the final closing date is accepted by the seller's bank. It's a long story that I won't go into but hopefully today will be a big day and one with answers. Positive thoughts!

Yesterday was my first Dayton baby doctor appointment. Everything checked out and we are scheduled for an ultra sound on September 19th. I'm getting to the point where the pants are getting tight so it's time to break down and find some maternity clothes. All of mine are packed away in a box somewhere so we get to go shopping a little. Pretty exciting if you like shopping while you feel plump and extra curvy! Oh the joys of pregnancy but so worth it.

I finally found the camera USB cord and was able to download all our photos from the past two months. Only 256 photos to go through. Luckily, many of those were from Lucas practicing his photography skills and were easily filed away in the recycle bin.

Here's it is, the start of one big happy photo gallery to get you all caught up on our adventures...

Part One: Trip to Oregon to see Grandma & Grandpa Anderson
(sorry, no photos of our family camping which also took place on this trip...they're on a CD in a box somewhere)

Real Pilot Lucas...
The Mighty Spruce Goose...
Sprinkler from Grandma A which was an early birthday gift but a huge hit...
Marine Science Center on the Coast of Oregon with Grandpa Anderson and checking out ocean critters...
Walking "down by the bay" with Grandma and finding a real crab...

The last photo? Lucas having his first "romantic" kiss with Vanessa the Pez Machine, from The Bee Movie. "I love Vanessa mommy!"

Nice day at the beach?! It was 100 degrees 45 minutes away and 50 degrees on the coast, we froze...
Lucas loved the light house but was a little short to make the journey to the top, maybe next time...
I'll blame the incredible wind gusts on the "drunken sailor man" photography!



Looking for starfish and sea lions...

A little rock climbing too...of course!

Just checking things out and trying to stay warm...Cousin Henry's house which was sooooo much fun...
Learning to catch a frisbee with Uncle Dan...



Henry and his new sandbox...

A little T-ball too...

Portland Zoo with Grandma & Grandpa (our last day)...




Dinosaur World!

Big, giant T-Rex that moved, made noises and was pretty life like...
What a wonderful trip. We miss you Grandma & Grandpa Anderson!
Love, Janelle Mike Lucas and ?
