So here are some pics from todays activities in Oregon, we had a long day of hi,ing trails and visiting Sea Lion caves...SUPER AWESOME!!!

Florence, Oregon

So yeah, here I am sitting on our balcony, overlooking the ocean, and I thought that I would post a couple of pictures from the last couple of days. We arrived yesterday and relaxed a bit. Today we took a drive to Waldport and had a fabulous seafood lunch. We continued north to Newport, and had a fantastic tour of the Newport Aquarium. Lily was so enamered with the exhibitz, and it was cool to see the excitement on her face while we spent the day there, she really loved the shark and sea lion areas.,..more posts and pics to come.

Happy kid and her baby girl

Awww!! Look at this happy kid and her sweet baby girl. This is a pic of Lily at 6 months from the day we took her home from the hospital. I can't believe how much she has grown and I am so excited to continue to see her progress. She can roll over by herself, she is sitting up with very little help, she eats a full bowl of mush every morning and she has two cute little bottom teeth in her mouth. I love her so much, I can hardly stand it!!!

Love you Grandpa

It's really hard to say this but my grandpa Keachie passed away this past Wednesday. He was a good man who taught us excellent work ethic, love for family and a rich Scottish heritage. If you would let him, he would talk your ear off about pretty much any subject that interested him or got him fired up which probably included just about everything. Some of his hobbies included making belts and wallets out of leather, bagpiping, and building and flying model airplanes. I was always amazed at his energy, he could not sit still for long. It was especially endearing to see how he opened up to his great grandchildren (Ian, Lily and Kaison) over this past year. Grandpa, we love you and will miss you a ton. We can't wait to see you again on the other side.

Lily and cousin Kaison

This is such a cute picture, I couldn't resist putting it on here. This is Lily's cousin who is two months younger than she is but is slightly bigger. He has the cutest little cheeks!! Don't ya just want to squeeze em?!

First home high chair experience

BEFORE...........

AFTER!!!!

Ok, so I decided to try out Lily's high chair this morning. She doesn't sit up by herself just yet but the chair helped her to stay balanced. You be the judge.........I personally think she did a fantastic job!!! She is seriously the cutest kid, I don't know what I did with all my time before she came to us. She is such a blast!

A TOOTH!!!

I have been meaning to put this on the blog for a week now.........Lily got her first tooth at five months old! Mat was letting her chew on his finger last Saturday night and all of a sudden he was like "OUCH!!!" We started looking and sure enough on the bottom left, there is a peek of a tooth coming in. She is growing up so fast, it's not fair! But all that really matters is she is healthy and happy so it's all good. Yay Silly Lue!!!

Newest member of the Lassig family

Here is the newest member of Jennie and Kevin's family. His name is Lucas Oliver Lassig and he is super cute. We have not met in person yet but both Mat and I are looking forward to that pleasure really soon. I must say I love the name as it has been my favorite boy name since I was in grade school. Congratulations Jennie and Kevin!!!
