Outdoor fun

 We have been enjoying time outside, both at home, 

and out in some natural areas nearby:

We have also been enjoying seeing the deer come through our yard:

It is nice to be in Oregon this time of year ❤️

Games

 With the weather having turned raining and colder, we are playing a lot of board games when we have time. The other night we had a family game of Rhino Hero:

Yesterday the kiddos played several games, including a few rounds of checkers:

I love that our kids are at the age where we can all play games together (sometimes with Linden on a team with one of us), and even better Maren and Linden can play games on their own. It is a phase of parenthood that I have been looking forward to, and it is just beginning so there will be many years of it to come ❤️

Piano prodigies

These kids are too cute:
