Four years ago we welcomed Ethan into this great world. We were living in Eugene, Oregon where Laura was teaching in the Eugene School District and I was entering my second year of graduate school at the University of Oregon. He arrived rather quickly at 7:47pm at Sacred Heart Hospital in downtown Eugene. We weren’t […]
There’s cheese and then there’s Tillamook Cheese. In our household we only support Tillamook Cheese because, really, all other cheese are inferior to the baby loaf. In our visit to Oregon last weekend, we decided to show our Tillamook support and take a visit/tour of the Tillamook Cheese Factory. The factory is a tourist destination […]

Day 7: We said our good-byes to Scottie and his family and made our to Yellowstone National Park. Our route took us through Cody, Wyoming which seemed like a nice town. I don’t know much about Buffalo Bill but he’s big around these parts. There is a huge museum in Cody that is all about […]
