We just got back from an overnight trip to Portland to hang out with Jim’s mom’s family – and what fun we had! Jim’s cousins planned a get together at a park and we ate, played Bocce ball, ate some more, and had a great time catching up at something that wasn’t a wedding, shower,Continue reading “Hall Family Gathering”

I haven’t posted any pictures of JT and Slider for awhile… it’s not because they’re not still best pals. Now that he’s walking so quickly, JT can keep up with Slider around the house.
