    I recently made the switch at work to a 4-10 schedule which means I now wake up (too) early, but I get Monday’s off. A while back, we had one of our favorite families over for a couple days and I decided to make the most of the early morning on my day off. I…

    A couple weeks back, Jess had a photo session with a friend and her boyfriend in Hood River. I tagged along and wandered around with my camera while she took their photos. I’m going to try to be better about posting my images on the blog. I take a proper camera with me nearly everywhere, so…

    Sorosis Park in The Dalles With the weather being in the 80’s for a couple days here in The Dalles, I decided it was a good chance to put the kiddo in shorts and go to Sorosis park early in the morning. Apparently, I am the only parent that thought of taking their little one…

    Elijah’s First Parade Last weekend was The Dalles Cherry Festival. Brent was on call for the weekend, so we decided to spend the weekend close to town. That turned out to be a good thing since he had to go in 3 times and once was in the middle of the night. Being on call…

    Up above Thompson Track in The Dalles, there is a water tower. It is a steep paved road that leads up to this point. From this vantage point, you can see The Dalles in its entirety. The other day, while waiting for Jess to come home from a weekend up in Coeur d’alene, I took…

    This past weekend we headed south to go visit Brent’s brother in Eugene. From the little bit we were able to explore, it was a beautiful city. The one thing that I could really tell that my brother-in-law really enjoyed about it was the proximity to the trails.

    Last month, we left the confines of Montana for our last big outing before our addition to the family arrives. The trip centered around two different events, a Seattle wedding and the Grand Teton Relay. In between the two, we spent time in Oregon with family. We decided that in order to maximize our time in…

    When we were in Oregon, we took a day to drive through the Gorge and enjoy the scenery. The only problem that is was chilly and extremely windy. We enjoyed the little bit of time that we took. Here are some pictures from the days events. Enjoy! [slideshow]

    Finally, I can wrap up this crazy three-part series about our trip to Oregon, the Portland Marathon and now finally the remainder of the trip. I won’t bore you with another 1500 word essay. Instead, I will present to you the rest of the trip, in pictures. Ask questions if you have ’em in the…
