WE HAVE MOVED!

It's official.  We've moved to Bend, Oregon.  It wasn't in the cards and we didn't plan to come here but it happened and we're here and so far it's been a positive thing for us.  We've grabbed onto life here and are living it to the fullest, enjoying the cold weather, warm fire and steamy cider. It's fall here in Bend and it's beautiful!

There are a few animals living in the yard, like squirrels, chipmunks, jays, quail and the occasional deer or two.  There are 2 friendly squirrels that play on the deck during the day, and a shy chipmunk that I haven't been able to capture on film yet.  This is Phil.  We also have Skitter and Buster, but they're not pictured here.

With the move we upgraded our living situation to a house with a yard, so bicycles were in order!

Ruby and Tyson also went to a pottery studio and painted their own pottery pieces.  Tyson chose the Triceratops. He was very particular on the coloring and made sure to cover every last inch with color.

And Ruby picked an ornament bulb and a peace sign...  She couldn't decide!

There are also these amazing little frogs that are all over the place.  You can't hardly see them until you almost step on them but here is one I caught.

And probably the most exciting news we have is that we adopted a dog from the Humane Society.  Her name is Amy and she is a 6-year-old Australian Shepherd/Labrador Retriever.  She is house trained, gentle, extremely friendly and LOVES to play fetch!  

We'll post more soon but wanted to get a few things out to everyone now.  Hope your Fall is as beautiful as ours!!!
