Just in time for spring!! Last week I quickly planted a smattering of seeds that will hopefully be hardy enough to put out in the garden once we move. A week later and many have already begun growing!! For me the hardest part is waiting for the first bend of green to emerge...
(A note though...after making the little stakes out of toothpicks I discovered a week later that they grew mold...so yesterday they were all replaced with little straws.)
Take 1
Take 2 - uh oh! What happened to Tyson?
Ohhhh....
trying his first Tillamook Ice Cream Cone...mmmm
Late February we had the opportunity to go to Yachats Inn to celebrate our first anniversary. Tyson spent his first night alone with Grandma and Grandpa Coen and Aunt Nikki for one night, then Grandma met us halfway the next day to transfer him back. Jason and I enjoyed a night free of middle of the night wake-ups and used our time to walk along the beach, jump in and out of the hot tub and go out for dinner.
Jason and I enjoyed time away together, just the two of us, and felt rested and refreshed. We reminisced over the last year and realized how much we enjoyed it and why, and then looked ahead to this year, realizing the blessings that have been given to us! God is good!
Once Tyson joined us we did more of the same...walking on the beach, chasing seagulls, and swimming in the heated pool. Tyson tried string cheese for the first time. He wasn't really interested in holding it!
