Happy Mother's Day!

In honor of Mother's Day, I offer a video to our mothers. I realize now that motherhood has a lot to do with loving, caring, and all of those beautiful things. But it also has a lot to do with revenge. So, Mom, Laura, enjoy:

I'm going to hope this translates into vacuuming/mowing skills.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers out there!

Happy anniversary!

We got to spend our anniversary in Portland this year. Poor Eamon got carried on a tour o' breweries.

He is so surprised by this choice.

Deschutes for lunch.. The Bachelor, Mirror Pond, and Blackweiss were favorites. Eamon preferred the sundried tomatoes in my tortellini and the onions from Ray's elk stew. There were also some cool wood carvings, although they were not as tasty (I love the clouds around the mountaintops!).



Possibly working towards signing the bill?

A looong walk, and Lucky Lab was next. The Brown Brown was the best of the day. Eamon napped on the walk, woke up here in time to run all over the (mostly empty) pub.


Last but not least, our honeymoon brewery: Rogue. The chocolate stout and Dead Guy remain favorites, and we got to drink a bit of each later in the trip. We had a sampler of other beers at dinner.... although Eamon prefers the empty growlers they keep on the table.

None for me?

Portland itself was also very pretty... Lots of flowers! And a strong recycling campaign...

All in all, a great way to celebrate four years!

Up

Did I mention that Eamon is a climber? Someone kindly offered to send us one of these little play tables. I turned the offer down due to space constraints and the obnoxious nature of these (battery-operated, motion sensor included) tables.

Good thing I did. I never thought about this issue. This was BEFORE he could walk or even really stand...
