Oregon in November

Okay Linda, this is the post you’ve been waiting for!  Pictures from Oregon.  I hope you enjoy them.

Julie and I had the pleasure of a long weekend, a leisurely drive to Oregon, and the chance to visit Team Henderson2 last weekend.

I am pleased to report that TH2 is doing fabulously well.  First off, Ryan is amazing.  He is growing up so fast.  We immediately noticed that he is very aware of and engaged with the world all around him.  It’s wild to watch him focusing on different objects and people that interest him and attempt to reach out, roll towards and capture them.  He seems to be very happy and healthy and content in his surroundings. Of course, that’s because of mom and dad who he adores.

We made a pact with TH2 before we arrived.  They’d hang out with us while we did some Christmas shopping in an attempt to deprive California of their sales tithe – and we’d make sure they were well fed.  I’d say both sides fully lived up to the deal.  It’s clear that Ryan is fascinated with all the yummy food he saw us eating, though.  I almost felt bad torturing him as he sat at the tables and watched us dig in at La Perla Tapatia, California Pizza Kitchen and all the other places we enjoyed.  And, it’s fair to say that people will be getting Christmas presents this year ;)

Okay.. I admit that we gotta quit with the black background.  But, It was fun to capture this moment in time in the life of TH2.  I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as we enjoyed the visit.
