Oregon Trip

Last week, Greta and I went out to Oregon to visit Lori's family and my parents. We were there for my niece Lindsey's graduation from high school and my nephew Parker's ceremony to move up from eighth grade to high school. It was fun to see Greta interact with her cousins and family. I have to say, that she did exhibit some split personality issues while in Oregon: namely, she bobbed between being normal, silly, fun Greta to being very clingy and whiny. I'm not sure if she was a little under the weather or unaccustomed to the time change or just missing her dad. In any event, the mood swings cleared up right around the day before we left! Here are Lindsey and Greta eating G's favorite snack, popcorn! Notice the U of O sweatshirt - - Lindsey's future alma mater.Here's the whole family: Bruce, Lori, Parker, and Lindsey. Parker is now taller than Paul!
The graduate and little brother.
Not sure where Parker is in this one, but here are mom and dad, Lindsey, Greta, and me on our way to graduation.
When Lindsey and Parker were little, my mom got them this TP. They loved playing in it, and so when Lori pulled it out of her garage and set it up for Greta, we all had flashbacks. She had fun playing peek-a-boo through the window with Aunt Lori.
Lindsey put in Greta's first pony tails. :) It must be the world's tiniest pony with such short little tails.
Parker sneaking in some snuggles and kisses while Greta was in the right mood. We had to get our love where we could last week because she was having NONE of it when she was grumpy.
Greta did like to give love to Luci, though.
Aside from attending two graduation ceremonies in one week, Greta also went to two lacrosse games. Parker's team won the tournement, and Greta had fun watching.

We had a great time visiting the fam, and we can't wait to see everyone again!
