Easter Surprise

We had a wonderful surprise this Easter weekend...the Sun came out! So, we headed down to the Oregon Coast. It was sublime to say the least. Eric was ecstatic to find out he has a fearless, (non-wimpy) son: Emmett ran straight for the freezing waves when we let him out of his stroller. Carly became nostalgic for their Hawaiian past with beach towns, salty air, and sandy toes. And Emmett got some alone time with his first crush, Jess Palmer, who came to visit over the weekend. He can't get enough of her. Plus, seeing the sun gave us all hope that perhaps spring had finally begun and the rain was finally over.



p.s. it is raining right now as i'm writing this.
