Alyssa's Adventures: Finally.. another post

So the last few months have been absolutely crazy, which is why I haven't had the chance to post lately. I know.. lame excuse, but there is it. I (Rebecca) am now working full-time in HR, which is a huge shift from both a time perspective and a job perspective. I really am enjoying what I do, and I love the opportunity to stay home and see Alyssa whenever I want (unless she is out and about, social butterfly that she is).

Alyssa is doing fabulously. She really enjoys playing all day during the week with Christine (our nanny's) kids. She started walking at 17 1/2 months; just in time for us to be able to say that she is walking at her 18 month appointment.

We are really loving the Vancouver/Camas area (especially now that the weather is getting nice). We have most of our garden in, and have signed up for a CSA. We've also met a really fun group through the Portland Green Parenting group, and have enjoyed learning all about the sustainable and green options that Portland has to offer.

In May, we went to my cousin John's wedding near Mendocino, California. We also were fortunate enough to spend some time with Michael's family during the trip as well. I have included a couple of pics from the wedding, as well as a few other random pictures. Enjoy!

What a running back would look like if Alyssa invented football.
