Painting the closets

New stuff in the house

We painted the walls in Odin's (and future Soren's) room with a star theme...

Thank you Land of Nod for the cool bedding!

Here Odin is helping daddy prepare the closets for the new organization!

Here is the bedroom closet! YEAH!

Soren is happy about the new stuff, too.

Pumpkin carving

Odin's first pumpkin carving experience.

Making "Jack's house" from A House for a Mouse. Thanks Smith!

Ian also had to impress his teaching skills on the kids of Highline.

Lovely day for a hike!

Family photo at a look-out point.

Pretty mountain...taken from ~5000ft. We were looking at 11,500ft rise in elevation to the top (including the rise from the valley). Pretty Mountain.

Naked Cousins

I see this now and think Odin is way too big to be in diapers.

This post was interrupted by Odin waking up early from his nap because he had an accident in bed. Maybe he isn't too big?

Lots o' love.

The last of the Oregon pictures

Don't worry, Caroline, you will see this little one again. :) We are coming to Portland to visit!

Grandad Schwab feeding Odin a giant ice cream sunday. Odin couldn't finish it!

Automatic shot of the family at a lava flow about 2000 years old at 5000ft elevation. Cool.

Odin was looking for the dragon at this castle. We just got a good view of the mountains around us and Soren slept.

I like mountains.

Odin loved Uncle Fred's cane.

Dancin' and jumpin'

The life of the party!

Family pics

Odin threw a temper tantrum by sunset.

We got him calm enough to get this nice picture.

And then the big family photo. I think we already posted this one...but it is worth another shot. :)

Chillin' out in OR

Hanging out by the pool.

Brotherly love.
