| Meli was funny with the squirt guns. She mostly just drank out of it. |
This past April marked 5 years since we moved back to Oregon. Meli's first time seeing our beautiful state and (in my opinion) finding her home. I think Colin could fit in to either state, but Miss Mae definitely has a PNW (Pacific Northwest) spirit.

| My sweet, sweet boy |
Good ol' Facebook provided me with a little walk down memory lane of that first month back home. What a fantastically, sweet time with my kiddos. I was fortunate to be home with the kids for a few years before going back to work and I am so grateful for that period. I am so glad to be back to work now, but it was perfect timing to have that before school started and to help adjust to a new life.
That first summer, we spent a lot of time outside in MiMa's yard. Sprinklers was Meli's favorite thing.
As the kids seem to be aging at such a rapid pace, I have been loving the memories from those first few years. We all have adapted to being in a new state. I think Colin took the longest since he had more bonds with East Coast family. Meli was not quite 2.
We also lived a block away from one of the local schools, which was a perfect place to take the kids. The air rocket launcher was an enormous hit!
Meli turned 7 this month, and I feel like it is closing a chapter. More about that in a future post. Mama is being emotional this month!
