Complaints and A Trip to Portland

One of the negatives of me being back at work is that my blog suffers. I know this does not seem like that big of a deal, or anything to really complain about, but I will complain anyways. I love having this blog and getting to document all the big and small moments of our family. Lately it is a struggle to find time to do the basic things of life (like grocery shop!), let alone find any time to blog. Every now and then I find a moment (right now Kyan is napping and Mckinley and Kev just went to grab some Subway) to squeeze in a quick blog post. I have to jump on these opportunities when they come around, otherwise we may only see posts every couple months.

So...on to this post. A few weekends ago we met up with Grandma B and Grandpa D in Portland for a quick getaway. It was completely typical of my life right now, aka--squeeze in some fun while I have the chance, but it was SO wonderful. We spent time watching football, going to the Portland Saturday Market, taking a walk on the river, and going to the Children's Museum. We always have such a great time when we are with Kev's parents, and this trip was nothing different. Mckinley adores Grandma and Grandpa, and Kyan is changing so quickly right now that it is fun for them to see how different he is since they last saw him.

It was a quick trip and it was really more about relaxing and visiting than anything, but I did of course get some pics!

Playing at the Children's Museum...it was a Halloween themed day and kids wore costumes.

Hopefully, as my Master's program winds down I will have more time to fit in posting here. Kyan really is changing so fast and I want to document it as much as I can. Mckinley and him are playing more and more together--it is definitely something I want to remember!
