On To Portland...

The Ruters spend their Christmas in Sisters, so they came to see us before we left town.
We got to meet Matthias!  SUCH a cutie pie with so many smiles! 
 Caleb is very intrigued by babies.  He waved with great energy while saying "hi."  I'm pretty sure Matthias was wondering what was going on.
Anders is growing up fast!  
 We next headed to Portland to visit with friends and more family.  Although this trip was ten times easier than the way to Redmond, we still saw some slipping and sliding while getting chains on.
We both really enjoy this drive because of past memories, for Matt, when we were dating, and for me the years of going to and from Portland to Mom and Dad's.
That night we enjoyed visiting with uncles, aunts and cousins.
 I got to see some girls that were only in grade school when I first started working with kids.  Now Heather is a massage therapist and Autumn is about to graduate from High School.
 Caleb made himself at home.  It was nice to catch up with them and their mom.
 We enjoyed staying at Uncle Doug and Aunt Wendy's house.  They spoil us!  Caleb liked using the special high chair and getting extra love from Aunt Wendy.
 She helped him climb up and down the stairs and even had fun toys to play with and snacks to eat.  We'll be happy to stay at the "Gabbert Resort" anytime soon if they'll have us. :)

More pictures to come of Grandma and Pa Boersma's and Olson.
