East Coast Invasion



My friends Chelsea, Jessica, and Jez Davis came to visit Minnie and help me out. I had such a good time seeing them all again and seeing them with Minnie. I loved how they would all rather stay at home, hold Minnie, and make yummy homemade meals for us instead of going out. We had such a good time talking, drinking mimosas, and exploring Portland. It was quick though; as soon as they got over jetlag, they were right back on the plane for Boston to deal with jetlag all over again. Minnie of course was super spoiled after they left and we all miss them immensely. We went and did some serious shopping at the Saturday market, shopped the hipster Hawthorne district, and went waterfall seeking while Ryan watched Minnie for us.



Sorry the pictures are so small. If someone can tell me how to get pictures off other people's snapfish albums and not have them be teeny-tiny, I'll repost. Squint away!



What fear of dogs? Jessica overcomes her fear by walking Papi around the volcano.

The lovely ladies making one of many delicious meals for us.

Slurp Slurp. Miss Jessica, you hold a bottle so elegantly. You can feed me anytime!
