Spring

We've been having lots of fun and it's been nice to spend a little time outside in the sun. I'll recap what's been going on in the last month or so:

Spring break- It was so nice to stay home, relax, and spend time together for 2 weeks. We caught up on sleep, and explored a few new places around Portland, including a good used book store and Multnomah Falls. We went one day and it was rainy, so we didn't hike to the top. But we went back a few days later to do the whole hike.

 Rob's parents came for one of the weekends. It was a fun visit- we introduced them to Ikea and had some delicious Red Lobster. We also made sushi while they were here, and it turned out pretty good. We were glad they were able to come visit! And we wish we had remembered to take pictures. 

During the last weekend of the break, Rob's sister Amber and her family came to town and we went with them to the OMSI. Again we forgot to take pictures except for on this camel in the Egypt exhibit.

Rob started his 3rd quarter at school. From what we have heard, this is supposed to be one of the hardest quarters. He has also gotten back into running a little bit and we're both looking into training for races this summer.

Collin is 7 months now. He weighs almost 19lbs! He loves "standing up" with help. When he's laying on his back and we take his hands to pull him to a sitting position, he straightens his body so he stands all the way up. And when he's being held standing up, he also loves to jump! His favorite is "jumping" all the way up the stairs. He has also been rolling all over the place lately, and I can no longer leave him on the couch or bed, even for a second. Or change his diaper without him rolling over. He has lots of energy, smiles, and laughs.

Finally getting to spend some time outside!

This last weekend, my dad came to visit. We did some shopping and Laurel and her family came over and decorated cupcakes with us. 

For Easter dinner, we made ribs and mashed potatoes. 

Collin got some fun things in his Easter basket and so far has enjoyed chewing on the books the most.

Happy Easter!
