Happy Birthday Makena!

We took a family vacation to Oregon to celebrate Makena's first birthday and our fifth anniversary. We visited Grandma Wikle, Uncle Kevin, Aunt Lola, and their respective family members. It was a lovely trip. However I've decided that family trips should be kept closer to home while our children are very young. We've been home for two days and the car lag is finally wearing off. I was starting to go crazy in the back seat of the car for two days in a row with a restless toddler.

Thanks to the Wikle's and their fantastic hospitality. We loved every minute.

Makena loves to help me with the daily chores. Her favorite is helping Mom with the laundry.

Makena also loves to chew on citrus fruit.

After a tough day on the home front nothing beats a good meal and a nap.
