Four Reasons to Love Canby, Oregon



ジェフの大家族たち+友人達と時間を過ごしていると、あっというまにオレゴンの滞在時間が終わりに近づいてしまいます。家族の中でもちっちゃい子供達の成長は本当に早くてびっくりします。アイシスは、ジェフのお父さんの妹の娘の娘。もう3歳で、オムツがとれていて、しかも、しゃべってました!

There are so many reasons to miss Oregon. Number one: little second cousins. Isis, seen here in the picture, is always lots of fun. At the age of 3, she is already a drama queen actress with lots of good energy. We will really miss being there to see them grow and mature over the next year. Roman, for example, is already walking and starting to utter his first words (last time we saw him he was still mastering the crawl) and by the time we get back to Oregon he will most likely be a little chatter box. Likewise, Isabella (only four months now) will probably be working on the two-legged waddle when she's not crawling.

ジェフの幼馴染ニックと、大学の友達アニール&エミリーとは何度も遊びました。アニールとエミリーは婚約して、来夏結婚します。結婚式にいけないのは本当に残念!パンプキンパッチ(ハロウィン用)におでかけしました。

Reason 2: Pumpkin patches and corn mazes in October! Here we are at a local pumpkin patch with Nick (goofy one in the middle), Anil (the other goofy one), and Emily (also goofy, but less so in pictures). A beautiful autumn evening!


パーカー家のデッキで、これまた秀逸な赤ワイン(ジェフ父の友人作)を。ああ、オレゴンの晩夏は素敵です。
Reason 3: Magnum bottles of homemade wine and friends to share it with!



しかし一番のお楽しみ&感謝はこのお二人に。いつも、いつも本当にお世話になっております。暖かく迎えてくれる両親に恵まれて、私もジェフも幸せです!

Last, but certainly not least, reason 4: Mommy and Daddy! Oregon wouldn't be so lovely without them!
