First trip to the beach

We went on our first family vacation with Alex to Depoe Bay at the Oregon coast. It was the perfect first vacation as it is only a 2 hr drive away and it is such a low-key beautiful spot where they have perfected the art of doing nothing... and we were happy to do just that...nothing!

We lucked out with beautiful weather so we went on many walks on the beach, did a lot of snuggling as a family, read some good books (Bossypants by Tina Fey = super funny), and just bonded as our new family unit.

My parents joined us on Wednesday and got to have some good quality time with Alex. They are sooo good to him! And we had a chance to celebrate my mom's birthday at this wonderful restaurant in Newport called Local Ocean. If you haven't been there and you are going to be out at the Oregon coast anytime soon, I would highly recommend it.

As always, here are some pictures...




I love this stretch picture. Alex has the best streches EVER! And he has been such a good sleeper giving us 6 hours in a row!

Papa and Nonna sure love their little man...can't you tell!

Melts my heart!


I am still amazed by the strength of a mother's love.


Can you tell David is a bit excited about his new family :)


We bought an Apple Pie at Otis Cafe on the way home from the coast as our lunch. We ate all but one tiny slice.
