The Beach

Me 'n my love


My sweet baby girl loves her Daddy.

Willow is a crawler now and loves to explore the beach.

The painters came to do the touch-up one day so we had to find things to do away from the house. We took a drive up North towards Canon Beach and stopped at a state park we had never been to. It was a lot of fun. We hiked in about a quarter of a mile to the beach. The sun decided to peek through the clouds for about an hour while. Aspen and Journey loved the creek and got thoroughly wet and sandy.

There have been lots and lots of baths! It seems that they love nothing more than getting as dirty as possible.

Our goal this summer was to finish the beach house by the first of August, and then spend the month at the beach. We weren't far off on our goal! We moved in Friday, August 13th. I've been here ever since. Mark has been here except for driving back a couple times to catch up on work stuff.

It has been relaxing, and such a great way to end the Summer. It was getting a bit rough on me having Mark gone every weekend fishing or working on the house (many times during the week too).

There are so many things I love about our house here at the beach.

Here are my favorites:

• We are within walking distance to town (well, let's be honest, the coffee shop!). We have been walking into town almost every day to get coffee and go to the beach or park. We've been getting some great exersize!
• The house is on a fairly level lot, and the street is quiet. I love this because the kids are able to spend lots of time riding their bikes outside.
• We have a fire pit right outside our back deck. Aspen LOVES fires. Loves them. Now he can have a fire without it being a huge ordeal.
  
  
  These are things I would love to have at home. It's great to have them here :) There will be more posts to come of our stay here, but that's all for now.
