Beach

Knowing we could spend all our time off working at the house, we decided to take a few days off and head to the spectacular Oregon coast. We had a great time. It was the first time in a year that we've had a vacation with "just us". Noelle surprised us by rolling over (back to front) as soon as we arrived and Nathan took great delight standing in the surf and digging in the sand. Our sweet friends Aaron and Amanda joined us for a couple nights as well. They got crushed in Acquire, but I think the hotdog cookout ala sand will bring them back again. :-) We enjoyed looking back (a great year in Grants Pass), looking forward (the last year of surgery residency and beyond), and soaking in the moment. A very blessed time.
