Bloody Eye II

Some of you may remember when I got a random bloody eye. Well, not too long ago I got Bloody Eye II. This time, though, it wasn't totally random. Baxter (of course) and I were playing innocently in the living room. He got excited and accidentally punched me in the eye. It all happened so fast, so I'm not exactly sure how he did it, but what I do know is that his paw connected with my right eye and I spent the next two weeks looking like this...

Day Trip to Cannon Beach

A couple weeks ago Toren and I woke up to a beautiful Saturday morning with absolutely no plans, so we decided to take a day trip to the coast. We went to Cannon Beach. The weather was absolutely perfect, which is rare along the coast.

We spent the first part of our trip walking along the beach with Baxter. He was both fascinated and terrified by the waves. He loved walking along the sand though. At one point we let him off his leash and he just started sprinting full speed around the sand. He loved it, but it made me nervous so he spent the rest of the time on his leash.

Notice how he's very curious until he feels the water.

Famous Haystack Rock

After our beach time we went and walked around the little shops. We, of course, bought ice creams and a bag of saltwater taffy. Then Toren insisted we eat lunch at Mo's.
Mo's famous clam chowder. MmmmMmmm.

Oregon Baby Shower

I know this post is long overdue, but "better late than never" is my current blogging motto.

About a month and a half ago my sisters-in-law were in town and Forsberg women threw me a baby shower. All I have to say is that they went all out. The house was completely decorated and the food -- well -- just look at the picture below. They even ordered the cutest yellow duck Edible Arrangement that now serves as a coin bank on the baby's dresser.


And look at the cake! It was as delicious as it looks. The writing on the cake says "Welcome Austin." We are 99.9% sure we'll name the baby Austin. The other 0.1% just satisfies my nervousness to commit.
And here's the whole group (minus Mallory who was taking the picture). As you can see, baby Brody (Austin's cousin) and Frisbee the dog were both active participants in the party.
Thanks everyone for the fun afternoon and all the great gifts. Everything I got was something we desperately needed.
