As Fall comes closer to Winter, we look back at the last several months and say “I wish it were still warm” 😀 I can say that Nori could be coaxed into saying many unexpected words at this point. Here’s a collection of all the warm fun times had during the Summer of 2018: That…
One Summer day, toward the end of her second year, Ferris Noriella gives in to an overwhelming urge to cut school escape Portland-life and head for downtown Chicago with her mom and dad (Dill and Nicholas) and her best friend (Monkey), to see the sights, experience a day of freedom and show that with a…
Here’s a moment of pause between the crazy cold winter and the beautiful thaw of spring where we took time to visit the highly regarded tulip fields near Woodburn Oregon. Some of my favorite words were balloon, slide, doggy, car, and flower.

Linda and Rob came out with us, they really enjoyed watching you explore the pumpkins. You really enjoyed walking around in the Pumpkin fields among the unripened pumpkins, and you also enjoyed walking through…
You really didn’t get to see the eclipse, but you did experience the hype… all week long. These are the photos of your eclipse moments, one day before your birthday. Funny thing is that after the eclipse, you just decided that you knew how to walk without holding on to things. So that was fun…
