Our anniversary trip

This is getting published a little late, but we took a trip a few weeks ago for our anniversary up the coast and into Oregon.  We went as far north as Portland and then came back through Tahoe. A friend lent us her car for the trip, a hybrid Prius which saved us a ton on gas - thanks Sara!!!!

This is the bottom of a fallen redwood. I could have crawled inside, but wasn’t feeling that brave!

Dave in the redwoods - he finally had a legitimate excuse to use “big” and “wood” in the same sentence!
Ah, Dave, such the jokester

Sexy beast!
That's my husband!

Our friend Betsy went to the University of Oregon in Eugene, so we stopped by for a look as we passed through. Betsy is a very enthusiastic U of O supporter (she once bought a bunch of us Oregon t-shirts when we went to watch a Cal/Oregon game!). So Betsy - this is for you! Go Ducks!!

While we were in Portland, we took a ride to the Columbia River Gorge to see waterfalls and Mount Hood. The waterfalls were great! Mount Hood, however, was a little shy……..

Did you ever doubt there was a Weed, CA?
Weed, CA - of course!

And Tahoe - ah, Tahoe. I love Tahoe!

Of course, when we got home, the cat was VERY happy to see Dave. Even me, too! She was underfoot so much for a few days that I must have stepped on her five times! After that, she was not as excited to see me.
Daddy's home!

All in all, the perfect ending to a terrific first year of marriage! Love you Dave!

Day 2

Bedtime went smoothly - things got a little goofy for awhile, but then Nicky settled down and went to sleep. And what a sleep! I don’t think a 9.0 earthquake would wake that boy!

We let Niki play with one of the cameras and here are his pictures:

Nikola made a fan at daycare today which he was very proud of:

He also took some time tonight to bond with the cat:

Day 1 - So far, so good

Nikola’s mom left this morning, and he handled it very well. I don’t think it’s sunk in yet that she’s not coming back tonight. We have had a busy day so far - my friend Sara gave me a ride to get Nikola and his things this morning so afterwards we took Nikola to the farmer’s market. Then we brought Nikola to the apartment and he bonded with the cat (a little too much, the cat got kind of annoyed and gave Nikola a little swat with her paw - our first tears of the day so far). Dave and I then took Nikola to the store to buy a soccer ball and then to the park to play. After the park we went to the store and bought some apples, then went home and made apple pie. That’s the day so far - we are hanging out watching The Muppets Take Manhattan until we start making dinner. Hopefully bedtime will go smoothly as well - however I think the fact that mom is not here will really kick in then……….we shall see!
