A Week in Photos Week 2

Jan. 14- Today Chief Ralph Painter was remembered in a memorial in portland. He died in the line of duty as a police officer.There was a huge processional to escort his body to the service with more than 500 police vehicles from all over Oregon, and even the rest of country..We didnt know Chief Painter personally, but we were so touched and moved to see the respect, love, and support that was shown by so many, not only in our town, but our whole county, and state as a whole. The service was aired on tv live. He wont be forgotten. May God bless his family and loved ones during this time.

A YEAR IN PHOTOS- Week 1

Well here we are! 2011 and I decided to take time every day and take a picture! I plan to upload once a week, but we all know life gets crazy, so bear with me! You will have to read from the bottom- up to get the photo journal in chronalogical order. Enjoy!





Jan 7. - Boy does this little guy love to keep his brain busy. He is always wanting to do SOMETHING.. puzzles are popular. We were excited to get several for Christmas and I rotate them out to keep him occupied.



Jan. 6 Ethan is really becoming interested in Lego or "eggo" as he calls them. He is so good at stacking all the same shaped pieces. He is learning that he has to pick up what he is playing with in order to pull out the box of lego. He is doing really good!

Jan. 5 Ah our little man is becoming quite obsessed with cars and trucks.. (buses,tractors,trains ect) He is even to the point of yelling "TRUCK!" When he hears a truck braking on the highway outside of our house. silly kid.

Jan. 4 -*sigh*... This day was the day that marked some pretty big changes in the Holmes family household.. I got some test results back and found that I am allergic to dairy, wheat, gluten, soy, corn, eggs, almonds, and peanuts... Ive kissed milk goodbye and am trying to absorb what some of these allergies mean for our kitchen... more of this to come no doubt.

Jan 3. We said goodbye to the Christmas tree.. Pepsi thought it would be fun to "play" with it.. she's always been great at fetch.

Jan. 2 Winter is here! This is my moms' frozen over bird feeder. We are hoping for some snow soon, so im sure this wont be the last of this that youll see this year!

Jan.1 -We started off the year with a new look for the boys. Ethan was way past due on a haircut... the picture depicts his severe displeasure for the electric clippers, however several animal crackers later, i assure you he was in good spirits. :)
