another sunday at the river...

perhaps one of my favorite things about living in the northwest is spending an afternoon by the river. and i write "think" because i'm pretty sure as soon as i'm not pregnant or attached by the boob to a baby or too financially strapped because of a year and a half of making it off one income, my favorite thing about living in the northwest will be learning to kayak white river rapids.
early this morning as jon waited by the oven for his signature coffee cake to finish baking, i sat on the back porch reading my bible while conrad played in his cozy coupe car. as i read out loud a psalm conrad beget my attention-he was doing his fishing sign and once he knew i was watching him it was followed by his fishing noises. i asked him if he wanted to go fishing and instantly he replied with an enthusiastic YEAH.

and so it was our day had just been planned.

i packed an insulated back pack full of snacks and sandwiches, jon loaded the car, and we were off for another sunday at the river.

I really do want to come and visit! I'm done with sand and beaches. I have now graduated to liking mountains and sequioa trees better :-)

You guys look like THE Oregonian family with Jon in fishing wellies, you all preggers and Conrad with his cute boyness. I'm glad the weather is permitting fishing.
