Vienne's World

Easter 2015

For Easter this year we spent most of the afternoon at a local church, who was hosting an amazing community Easter celebration complete with bouncy houses, carnival games, all you can eat sausages and pancakes, a giant bunny, and of course a massive Easter egg hunt. Vienne cleaned up! Later in the day, we spent some time with Vienne's grandpa and grandma. They did a few egg hunts in their backyard, and a couple indoors as well. Vienne loves egg hunts almost as much as she loves to eat eggs.

Silver Creek Falls

It's always a little nerve wracking to take a little, rambunctious and hyperactive 4 year old hiking near 50 foot drops onto jagged rocks below. There were a few dicey moments - and a couple of stern "Vienne!" shouts, but alls well that ends well and we had a great time hiking underneath the falls. Vienne took her tiny flashlight and had fun exploring some weird mini caves underneath the falls. We had cocoa in the lodge after our hike, then ate our packed lunch in the car before heading home.

Neskowin Beach

In mid February 2015, Vienne and her poppa took a day trip to Neskowin Beach on the Oregon Coast. The weather was amazing for February. It wasn't too cold, mostly sunny, with a high of 68! We packed a yummy lunch and took off for a tiny stretch of beach near Tillamook. Oregon's beaches can often get overrun which leads to fighting for space with the massive crowds, so it was nice to discover Neskowin, a little slice of heaven. Yes, of course we stopped at the Tillamook cheese factory on our way home! Do you think I'm nuts or something?

Baby On Board!!

One more post from 2014: We had our first ultrasound on December 30th and Vienne came with us. She was very excited to hear her baby sister's heartbeat.
