Childhood memories

I love googling stuff (or is it googleing? maybe googlying?) . This morning, as I set out to do just that, I found a pleasant surprise when the page came up. Little Peter Rabbit was looking at me, nibbling on carrots, Mr. McGregor raising his rake in anger in the background. The scene brought back fond memories. My parents read to us pretty much every night when we were little, and then encouraged us to read as we got older. I remember other stories, but it is The Tale of Petter Rabbit I remember best.

Sun+River+Fun



Ahhh, finally. It's taken me a few weeks to get all our vacation photos together but here they are. We had a wonderful time last month in Sunriver, Oregon (a resort town 15 minutes away from Bend). We spent five days with my parents, my brother Christian and his family. The resort has over 30 miles of bike trails, so we had a blast biking to the stables, the river and other places. Amber also had a chance to play a lot with her grandparents and her cousins, which doesn't happen very often =). We liked the place so much, our vacation to Sunriver may become a bi-annual family tradition (stay tuned...for another couple of years).

I was originally planning on posting a video of Amber doing crazy (and cute) stuff, but I couldn't get over how annoying my laughter and comments were on that video (yes, I know you're gonna say "oh, I'm sure it's not that bad!" Trust me, it is.) So, until I find some music to add to the video, I won't post it. But never fear! I found a movie editing site today, and it seems pretty straightforward, so the video will probably be part of our next post =).
