This darling family braved pretty frigid temperatures today for some pre-Christmas family photos. JT, Crystal, Olive and Jonah bundled up in a wool blanket and did their best to smile through toe-numbing gusts of wind. The kids were absolute troopers, and even mustered a few giggles throughout our time together. JT is a sweet-as-pie daddy [...]

Our friend, James, just accepted a new position within Vestas. The legal team gathered tonight to wish him well and buy him some delicious Hopworks pizza. It also gave Alec and James the opportunity to pose for this year’s best Modern Family portrait. Prada and Alshe, you are a DARLING couple!

Joanie, Oskar and the kids invited us to celebrate “Uncle Ally’s” 42nd birthday at the family’s beach house. The kids pulled together a (sorta) surprise Scooby-Doo themed birthday party, complete with homemade cupcakes and frosting, balloons and Scooby masks, plates and cups. Even the chicken dance made the list!

Succulent lamb rotating on a smokey spit, wafting sweet charred goodness our direction, deep-fried dough balls sprinkled with cinnamon, rows of desserts drowning in honey and nuts, and a beautiful, crisp fall day with Rob, Meg and Mr. Casey all made for a nice afternoon at Portland’s annual Greek festival.

We got in touch with our German heritage today (read: sausages, deep fried onions, snow cones, beer, face painting, hay mazes, wiener dog races, lederhosen and yodeling). Oktoberfest, Mt. Angel style, is a hoot.

My friends Allison and Dave are expecting a little baby boy (Grayson Davis Dyer) in mid October. I attended her baby shower today where all the ladies “ooh-ed” and “aww-ed” over the darling blue and brown blankets and onesies – too cute! I am confident that this new baby is going to be a pretty [...]
