Astoria. We're Here!

I have been meaning to post over the last few weeks, but wanted to put pictures along with it, so now I'm a bit overdue and have A LOT of pics to share! Our first outing here was going to the beach...which we realized, once we were there, that it was the first time we had brought either of the boys to the ocean. I guess growing up here, the beach lost a little bit of it's novelty and we never really thought of going. However, it was a perfect day, and we had a great time. Justus spent most of his time running from the water and we could hardly keep Gabriel out of it. Even when a wave came in and splashed him from head to toe.





Our next event was celebrating Gabriel's 1st Birthday. Justus helped me make the cake...and clean the mixer. He was thoughtful enough to share the treat with Gabriel too. : ) As for the party, Gabriel ate so much a dinner that he didn't even want to touch his cake. Justus helped him blow out the candles and that was about it! So, I got a picture of him crying with his untouched cake in front of him. Ahhh, memories! My nephews that live here came over and we quickly found out that our gift to Gabriel was going to be hard for him to keep to himself. It was great though!
