Portland Love!

Our time in PDX came and went so fast.  Despite a 9 hour time change,  there was no time for jet lag.  We were both busy working and packed our free time with family, friends, doctors, dentists, and knee surgery (for O)!  

So fun to see these faces.  

 This band got right back together...rocking out...


Waiting for the school bus to drop off W's bestie from preschool...WKF talked about this moment for weeks before and after it happened...he was just so excited to see his friend IH get off that bus!
 Each noticed the other was bigger...
 Silly as ever...

 Their other mom...
 Falling back in love with our city...

O had to have some pretty major knee surgery while we were in PDX.  Something about replacing his ligament with that of a cadaver...and a pretty gnarly meniscus situation.  It was not fun, and although he is stronger every day, it is still not fun.  His goal is to be off crutches in about 4-5 more weeks, and skiing by December - with lots of pain and effort (and global travel) in between.   Post op, P was there, with her magic wand, to make it all better...
Special delivery from the sweetest friends, who SHOULD HAVE COME UP TO OUR ROOM!  So bummed we didn't get to see their faces, but we did get to eat yummy treats from their neighborhood!  Merci AP and MM!
 Uncle Sylly, looking tall, flew in for a few nights in the hotel with us
 Sylly brought PapaJ with him...
 Team HammyT
The best medicine in the world...his babies, his baby bro and his pops, all snuggled up with him and his knee.
 This little diva barely took off the crown that uncle Sylly gifted her...if you ask me she is the fairest of them all...
Our newest cousin, the gorgeous B, drove down with her family for the day to check on their Uncle O and his bum knee.

Uncle Adam and Auntie Joy were the biggest best helpers to us while O was laid up...
 Super Adam...
Annie flew in as well, to snuggle baby B and help take care of her  my our baby O.
Not pictured, was the most fab girls night which occurred in my hotel bed with mac and cheese, ice cream and laughs, but no cameras.

Also not pictured was bobby's bday fete.  So fun to hang with old buds at a cool new place, jackknife.

The only photo evidence I have of that night was me, after the party...feeling so tired and unfabulous in the hotel laundry room late on a saturday night...I kept laughing as I thought of what my girl KK would say if she saw me...and so I took this pathetic selfie, wishing I could have sent it her way.  She would say, "girl, you the hottest bitch in that place".  She would have been right.  It was about 8000 degrees in there, and I was the only bitch in that place.
Thank you PDX, for having us.  We will be back...
