Snow!!! and baby shower photos
We are having snow and wind and cold in Portland today! Burke and I have been being lazy…reading on the sofa in front of the Christmas tree, watching all the birds come to our backyard birdfeeders, and of course watching the snow and listening to the windows rattle in the wind!
My friend and boss Martha posted some pictures of my work baby shower in mid-November to her flickr site and I thought I would link to them here. It was so much fun and so many of the “big” things we needed (car seat, stroller) were purchased as a group gift. Be sure to check out the black mary jane shoes that my friend Sue knitted. So cute! I’m going to miss all my fabulous coworkers when I am out on maternity leave!

We went camping this weekend with Tom, Sharon, and Julie. I’m so glad we got out of town to enjoy probably the last warm weekend of 2008! I was really wishy-washy about going but now I’m so glad I decided to go. We drove up Saturday morning and met the group at their campsite on Walupt Lake in the Goat Rocks Wilderness area. From the shores of the lake, we could watch osprey dive and catch fish, and the group heard elk bugling on Friday night. We hiked on Saturday up to the Pacific Crest Trail, near where we usually take an annual backpacking trip. It’d been a few years since we were in the area so it was great to visit again. The hike was 9 miles with not an insignificant amount of elevation gain, so I think it may have been a little overambitious for me, but I made it. I think I can safely say that was my last hike this year, however! We couldn’t resist the opportunity to take a week 25 belly shot at a PCT trail junction, with Old Snowy in the background, even though it was a day or so too early.
