Got to catch up with the Jones' fam at BJ's
Can't believe how BIG they're all getting!
Who else but "Aunt Wylee" to introduce her to PEZ?!
Or glow sticks??
Ballons make such fun ankle boppers
So far she's loved all the foods we've tried...ESPECIALLY pickles!
So many sister smooches
Marli can make Lyla laugh like no one else, and I just LIVE for moments like these!
LOVES water...just like our Marli!
Aaaaaaand our game of Kick the Can turned into a bit of a water fight
She has grown SO MUCH since getting here!
So much fun introducing foods to her. So far she's LOVED all foods!
Experimented with tye dye!
Stories with Pum-Pum
More games...Pig, BS, Cover Your Assets...
And suddenly she's a teenager...
Little boating baby ball
FAVORITE.
Both Jack AND Lyla are engaged by Charley's crawl-teaching techniques
Fishin' for duckies
Trying to break free maybe?! Haha
"Wy-lee" snuggles
Love her. And her love for my girls.
Visits with King side, too!
Lots of hummingbird watching
Before we left for Oregon, I asked Evan what he was most excited for while we would be in Oregon.
He said Killer Burger and Fire on the Mountain.
We made sure to get both!
Let there be Rook!
Keeping strong with her random catnaps on the floor...
Happy birthday, Mark!!
He's 12. TWELVE.

Marli's been liking to get "ready" with Mama lately
Grammy's garden
Butter licker.
Obsessed with her feet.
Lots of games
Would it even BE a trip home without dancing?!
Happy happy happy!

Are we loved or what?!
After sad goodbyes, our DAY WAS MADE discovering THIS beauty in the newest section of the airport!
Made it safely home...my jeans were COVERED in poo, and Marli's shorts SOAKED from a couple different water incidents...but we made it!
Back to our NC home
where our friends are like family
and our hearts are as full as our garden (literally SPILLING from the box - haha).
So grateful for our time in Oregon,
and for the opportunities and friendships we have here.
Feeling so blessed.
