January 22, 2011 / Last updated : July 9, 2011 Brett Holt Hiking

Tiger Mountain Hike….Grrrrrrr

In keeping with our streak for the New Year, we’ve spent at least one day the last three weekends hiking or playing in the outdoors. We’ve always been avid hikers but took some time off in November and December due to travel, weather, and illness. We’ve been working hard these past few weeks to ensure […]

Have Kids, Will Travel

We love to pack up the car and head out for the day or weekend. Laura and I have done it since we’ve known each other and we have continued it with our children. Almost since Ethan and Autumn’s first month of life, we were driving 2 to 4 hours to visit family. Our travels […]

You’ve lived in how many homes in the last decade?

We have history of moving. A lot! Ever since we left our childhood homes in San Jose, California (Brett) and Newberg, Oregon (Laura), we’ve moved frequently for a variety of reasons. Job. Change of scenery. School. Most moves have been our decision, though, we’ve been more enthusiastic about some more than others. So exactly how […]

The Playhouse

OHHHHHHHHHH YEAH! We have come full circle and Ethan and Autumn’s playhouse is finished (well…almost). This past week, we (mostly Laura while I was at work) finished painting it to the delight of Ethan. He was a bit antsy all week when he couldn’t play in it. We’re very excited about what we designed and […]
