So I shared pictures of our 1984 Avion 30R here as it came to us (I think the most I did in those pictures was pull up the carpet and clean). I’m still working my way through 47 yards of pleating tape (!!!!). But here is the state of things as we started off the …

1984 Avion 30R
Oh hey we got a “vintage” trailer. It’s an Avion 1984 30R. That means it’s an Avion (by Fleetwood) from 1984, it’s 30 feet long and has a rear bedroom (two twins we’re using for the girls). Upon first glance most people comment on our “Airstream” but it’s not. It’s not related at all. We’re …
The Catskills
Our sweet friends were married a few weeks ago in New York, and Bj and I were so happy we were able to attend. It took a little schedule shuffling and baby sitter finding, as things do, but we did it! I decided at the beginning of the summer that Bennet would probably still be …
To hot! To the beach!
My friend Tracy sent me a text yesterday that said, “call as soon as you get up.” so I did. A friend of hers reserved a yurt at the beach but wasn’t going to use it. Did we want to get away from 90 degree temps and join her? Oh yes we did! Ah so …
Pax Forest School
Oh the things I have to update you with! I have a few posts in the hopper but I’m going to jump right in with a big one. My mama friends and I are starting a small little part time school! A forest school, a 100% outside in the weather (no matter the weather!) school. …
Fall at the Oregon Coast
My dad lives in the desert in the winter, and before he left this year he decided he wanted to go to the coast. Lucky for the girls and I he decided we should come on his impromptu day trip… OK! First we went to a fantastic restaurant, on the “banks” of the world’s shortest …
Salem Harvest, and lots of corn
I know I’ve mentioned Salem Harvest before, but I don’t think I’ve gone into great detail about it. And I should because it is amazing! For a variety of reasons farmers (or just people with a fruit tree in their backyard) donate crops to Salem Harvest so food that would otherwise go to waste ends …
This Moment
Joining in on Amanda’s this moment project. A moment from the last week. A slice of life. (It’s been a long time since I’ve done these picture only “this moment” posts. I’d love to know if you’re doing them too so I can see what you’ve been up to. Embracing my iPhone 4s for photography …
Tulips, again
A perennial favorite (Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival). First way back in 2006 (by the way I totally thought he was going to propose that day. And also, whoa, I’ve been blogging for 8 years?!?!). The day I took the positive pregnancy test (that turned out to be Tuesday) in 2008 (also that closet is now …
On a one horse open sleigh
The girls and I had a blast in Alaska with Carmen and her family, of course. We did come home with colds, I’m better, Tuesday is almost and Bennie’s at the tail end of it, but still keeping me up all night. More to report soon, for now check out Carmen’s blog to see some …
