October

We had such a fun October! We loved having little Sydney around with her sweet personality. She is the most peaceful baby and gives big gummy smiles that we can't get enough ot. We started out the month going to a local farm here to get pumpkins and  doughnuts. They have cider doughnuts here!!! We were so excited and I made Josh buy a whole bag just for us. I'm a little obsessed...but apple and pumpkin! They had both kinds!! It was rainy and muddy but we still had a lot of fun. It was also our first official outing as a family of 4 so that made it pretty special:) Sydney was snuggled into the moby-wrap and slept the whole time.

Then we had our friend Yuri come visit us from Utah for a week. We had a ton of fun while Josh was at work. We went to the Pittock Mansion in Portland which has the most amazing view. The view of Mount Hood, wow. We went on walks around our favorite parks and enjoyed all the beautiful colors here!  We also went to Blue Star doughnuts, rated the best doughnuts in the country. I have to agree, they were amazing!!! So gourmet. And it was fun to go hang out around downtown. 

We went to Josh's Halloween work party on Halloween and went trick or treating there. Everyone was so sweet to Emma. She would take candy and run off as she said "thank you!" Emma and Sydney were both dressed as owls and won the work costume constest! Woot woot! I have to say they were pretty adorable but I thought I was just biased. That just proved it:)

We took Yuri down to Lincoln city and spent an amazing Saturday there. It was the end of October but warm and sunny! People had swimming suits on! It's always hit or miss when you go but it's always, always gorgeous.

Oregon is treating us pretty great so far:)
