Living by Family!

For the last almost 3 years we've been lucky enough to live in Portland, right down the road from Justin's brother and his family. Our kids are all almost the same age and after 4 years in San Francisco (where we had no family), it's been so great to live by them. Justin and his brother are both residents together at OHSU and will both finish at the same time. Although it's not time to say goodbye yet, I am already getting melancholy thinking about possibly not being able to be their neighbors anymore. Our kids have so much fun together and have really grown up together the past 3 years. Here are some highlights over the past few years. We love you guys!

Oaks Park

Picnics at Cannon Beach


Easter Egg Hunts

Lots of hiking and being silly

Pumpkin Patches



First days of school - Emma and Alice got to go to 2 yrs. of preschool together

Sleepovers


Newport Beach



Camping trips





We love you guys!

Now that is just sweet! Don't think we haven't enjoyed every minute of having you here too! I really don't even want to think about how hard it is going to be to tear Emma and Alice away from each other especially.

What fun!! We have been 6 years with no family in sight and whenever we get all those cousins together it is like magic. What a cool thing for them to have all those good times together. And now...where to next?!? Can't wait to see where you end up...

Don't despair! Maybe you will live closer together than you think after next year. That is what we will hope for. In the meantime, ENJOY! Thanks for the great pictures! They ARE worth a thousand words!(Mandy's MOM)
