This is a tribute to Aunt Shalynn who has watched Jess for more than a year while Tara was working. She did an excellent job taking care of her, pulling things out of her nose, alerting us to any abnormal new noises, bowel movements etc.., and patiently catering to our paranoid "new parent" requests. Tara has since found a job closer to home and sadly we had to change babysitters. Thanks for everything Tia!

Spring Break with the Lenox's in Lincoln City. I think the umbrella pretty much says it all. Lots of rain. The few breaks in the rain were spent flying kites, swimming, and eating lots!!!

Jessie in her Easter dress. Thanks Aunt Viv and Uncle Bob.

Easter. Jessie had fun figuring out that she had to look for the eggs.

Happy Birthday Sandy! Welcome to the world Ashton.

This was during a week when Jessie was sick and we were hanging out at home for most of that time. She somehow discovered her halloween costume in the closet and for 2 days it's all she wanted to wear. Our "busy little bee".

The dreaded day has come. Jessie discovered that her nose has holes and these holes can be filled with other things besides her little finger. So far we have pulled out and found in no particular order: potato, egg, apple, green beans etc. I think we've curbed the habit only because we threaten her with saline spray when she attempts it.

Two of Jessie's favorite things: a book and Grandma. Grandma White was here to visit in February. Besides Jessie being under the weather we had a fun time.

It's not white rain it is actually snow in Oregon!
