Memorial Day Weekend

Oh, and just a little addition...when we went out to brunch on monday with the Georgetons, we sat down at our table. Una got herself all settled in her booster seat and then looked at me and said, "I want cupcakes, Mommy." it was so cute, i almost ordered one for her.

We went to Bend for Memorial Day to visit Kristin, Lee, Elia and Thane. We had lots of fun and it was nice to get over the mountains into the high desert. There was a nice walk along the river, bonfire and smores at Tracy and John's, performances by Thane, and cute hugs. Those two are so cute...little blondies bouncing around together. Thank you, Georgetons! We love u guys.

53rd Avenue Park

Last week, Una and I visited this park in Hillsboro on a very sunny day. it kinda felt like we were at the beach! This is truly the biggest project that i've ever worked on, and i worked on it from it's master plan phase up into construction administration. And holy moly, did i learn alot. I can really claim this one as my design and it is super rewarding to walk through it and see people loving it and using the space just how you hoped they would. There's certainly things i wish came out differently...alot of the plants are struggling and that damn grout (that one wasn't my call)...but again, not bad for the first time i've ever designed a fountain. Thanks again to my dear friend Kristin and her business partner Sean for helping me make this a reality. They saved my butt.
