Its never to late to be thankful!

While we typically think of Thanksgiving as the day to be thankful, since I'm a few weeks late with this blog post, I figure today is just as good to be thankful!  This year, my family decided to head down to Bend, OR a cute resort town where Mt. Bachelor is located.  While it was a little different than our Thanksgiving last year that we spent in Zion (Nolan was 13 weeks old in my belly then), we had a fun time hiking around, relaxing, and spending family time together.

What I'm most thankful for!

Hiking is hard work!

Bend was great and we are hoping to get back down there this winter to do some skiing at Bachelor.  For the end of November, the mountain looked like it was doing pretty well and there were already lots of skiers out enjoying the snow.

We also learned a lot about traveling with a baby at this age that will affect some of our plans for the next couple months.  He's definitely not as portable as he was a few months ago!  While we don't plan on putting our lives on hold, we are rethinking some trips we were planning.  His sleep (and ours!) is just too important right now and we found its the first thing to go when you travel at this age.  Luckily we are all back on track and sleeping well...until our next trip on Friday.
