Camas to the Silverton

It has been a busy few months! In June we got to drive down to Camas/Portland to see Mom & Dad Bundy & Tim and Susie & family (who had all either driven or flown out for the week), and Grandma Bundy, Uncle Duane & Aunt Diane. We had such a great time seeing everyone who was able to make it out, and Bella was in 7th heaven spending the week with her cousins. On the ways up and down we were able to catch up with friends too.

Last weekend we drove out to Silverton, where Matt's Aunt Marilyn & Uncle Ted have a house. Mom & Dad Lunde, and Matt's cousins from Nelson came out too, and we had a great few days with them. We had to come home early when Bella got a stomach flu (which she was kind enough to pass on to me).

Matt and I have been trying to figure out how to get Bella to give up her soother, which we've let her hold on to up till now for sleep times. She made that decision for us about 3 weeks ago when she bit a big chunk out of one of them... we decided to go cold turkey. We let her keep the broken one so she can see that it's broken, and she's done great - except that naps look like they may have gone in the trash along with the soother. We're working on establishing a "quiet time", since I would still like to take my nap...

Oh yeah, and we shot the photos for a wedding somewhere in the last couple weeks.
