The Month in Photos: March 2014

 

Well March was a busy one for us. Ian took his MBA class to Ireland for a week and rather than stay home alone with a baby, Gussie and I flew down to Albuquerque to visit Ian's folks. Gussie had her 6 month (!) check up and we've been working on a couple of minor projects around the house. Later in the month we had a visit from our friends Brent and Hilary and their two girls, spent a day at the beach and tried to enjoy the nice spring weather as much as possible.  

The Month in Photos: January

After the rush of the holidays, I thought January would seem slow, but with our trip to Mesa and a couple of house guests we've stayed busy and the month has flown by. Gussie is full of personality these days and it has been so fun to watch her learn, grow and explore.

Augusta is starting to look a bit more like me, but in this shot she's still a little Ian!

Staying cozy on a rainy day (not that we've had very many this year).

Gussie is endlessly entertained by her toes.

One of those days...lots of house work, a baby that wouldn't go to sleep, and no shower for mama.

I'm kinda obsessed with Gussie's little baby neck, it's so cute!

Snuggles with mommy.

This picture makes me laugh. Gussie looks so intense and kind of mean!

My new favorite coffee shop in Portland, Woodlawn Coffee and Pastry.

The ennui of a house cat.

 Clementines and truffles, an easy and sort of healthy dessert.

Jack is sexy and he know's it. 

Our friend Brian came for a visit! 

I'm putting this lasagna on rotation.

And Grandma Amy came for a visit!

So...There's this place by our house that makes WAFFLE SANDWICHES.

 

Pretty light fixtures at School House Electric.

 I didn't know it at the time, but she had poop up to her shoulders. I'd be unhappy too.

 

Our little mouse. 

 

 

 Gramma Linda and Auntie Cal.

Food carts in downtown PDX, and yes, that is an umbrella covering the stroller.

 

A last, glorious burst of Fall foliage. 

 Our first fire! So happy we have a fireplace in the new house!!!!!

 I've been volunteering at the non-profit Disjecta here in North Portland and picked up this little beauty by Claire Cowie at their annual auction.

 A typical Oregon tableau.

 

 

This is one of my favorite pictures of Gussie.  She looks like a little cherub! 

 

Augusta was a trooper during a post Thanksgiving shopping excursion.

And speaking of, our Thanksgiving recap will be up on the blog soon!
