We took a last minute trip to the coast last weekend in Pacific City. Found the most fantastic little beach cottage, just big enough for our family, decked out in mid-century modern decor.

We recently took a trip to LA to visit our new nephew. After spending a few days in Santa Monica we packed up, said our goodbyes and started heading to the airport. But we had a secret. We were headed to The Happiest Place On Earth. They never saw it coming:
HEEEEEERE’S BOSLEY!!! I’m typically not a fan of ALL CAPS AND MULTIPLE EXCLAMATION POINTS!! in posts but that’s the only appropriate way to introduce our new bundle of energy.
BOZER. BOZER BOO. BOZERDOODLE. He plopped into our lives unexpectedly about a month back and BOY OH BOY OH BOY! He’s awesome. Loveable. So snugglishous. And oh! so! happy!
Keeps us on our toes. He likes to carry things around. And chew. We’ve had a few casualties. RIP Polly Pocket heads, Lego pieces, orphaned flip flops, and a gazillion stolen snacks. Our new mantra: Defend your food.
But he’s sweet as can be. My new coworker. The one that’s always interrupting and wanting you to join them on breaks.
And Madi’s new BFF. Up until the old girl tells him she NEEDS HER SPACE NOW. STOP FOLLOWING ME! (Boz doesn’t pick up on subtle hints).
Welcome to the fam, Bosley.
Drop it:
Who’s a good boy!
Naptime:
Thanks to generous family friends, we relaxed for a week at their central Oregon abode while they flew south for warmer weather. Our little family of four, with others joining us mid-week.
We enjoyed:
wide open spaces | skateboard rides | ski day | family game night | giant jigsaw puzzles (never started, but with good intentions!) | meandering walks | small town chatter | cousin time | window shopping | rain watching | Nana time | pizza nights | Frozen | crafting | player piano jamboree | Fro-yo | wine tastings |
The three sisters from our front stoop:
Skiing with my boys:
Wildlife:
Amanda always tracks down the best spots. Family-friendly happy hour, live music and wine tasting at Faith, Hope + Charity Vineyard:
It’s never too cold for fro-yo:
