WELCOME FAMILY & FRIENDS

To our friends and family that live afar......I thought this would be the best way to keep all of you included in our lives, so that you can see how Portland is treating us and to witness our children grow. We have been in Portland almost 7 years now and have enjoyed it so. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to view our blog, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy capturing these memorable moments.

Cheers - Ryan, Emilia, Nolan, Mila & Anya

The Day Before.....

Well, the big day has come. It has been a super hectic summer leading up to this big day, with Ryan finishing up his All Star Game, MLS talks, soccer games, and oh so much more. This is the day before little Brach's b-day. We are celebrating by going to dinner as a family. We went to our favorite little restaurant Cafe Mingo. It was a nice time, although I have to admit my legs were ready for a quick dinner and off to bed before the big day. As you can see from the photos, Nolan got a new haircut so he could look handsome for his baby sister. I also made these little gift bags for the grandparents giving them a clue of about the name by placing the initials in a box. Of course if left everyone guessing, it was fun. Nobody guessed it correctly. July 17th the big day we welcome our second little princess.
