It’s been a while…

I haven’t been blogging much since we moved back to Oregon. Things have been crazy. It’s been sunny most of the time and yet I have felt more down than in a long time. I don’t know what it is about being back but it just doesn’t feel like it used to. I don’t know if it’s going from living in a house to a condo or the lack of palm trees. I’ve just felt more stressed since we’ve been back. It’s so nice being close to family but we haven’t been able to see them as much as I thought we would.

We have officially been here for over two months. A lot has happened! Elijah turned 1!

I honestly can’t believe a year has already gone by! It was such a special experience to have family close by to celebrate with! Some of my best memories as a kid were going camping with my big family and just spending time together. Swimming with my siblings and exploring with my cousins! And now we are back in the Pacific Northwest with hopes of sharing a tiny bit of that with our kids!

The kids really enjoy being outside. We’ve taken them hiking numerous times! Arabella is a big explorer. She enjoys finding little things to study and observe along the way. Elijah loves climbing everything in sight. They are double trouble haha.

I will try to blog more in the future. I just need to work on getting things more organized!
