Now that we've been home for three weeks, I thought I better finish up my posts about Portland. It was a fantastic summer! The time we spent as a family I will be forever grateful for, it was greatly needed and has made me appreciate my kids and Nate so much more (not that I didn't before, it's just different now). We had a great ward that welcomed us and made us feel at home from our first Sunday there. We will never forget the friends we made there. And because we went to Portland, I have confidence that we can do it again... wherever Nate's job takes us this spring.
We read a lot of stories this summer.
And played a lot of UNO.
And blew up a lot of balloons... thank you grandma Nelson!
And built all kinds of things with Legos. (One of the "mom, take a picture and put it on the blog" photos.)
Megan did a fair amount of sleeping. (I did text a picture of this to Nate asking if it was safe for her to sleep in the life jacket. She didn't want to take it off!)
And I don't know what we would have done without the tramp!
When we first arrived at this house, I thought, "how am I going to make it through this summer?" When we left this house, I was excited to be going home, but sad to be leaving. It was a great, great experience.
