A fall visit to the valley...

This weekend we headed to the Willamette Valley to visit friends and family. I forget how beautiful it is there in the fall. We really don't get autumn colors like that in Bend.

We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Yost. Natalie enjoyed spending some quality time with Grandpa on the couch and getting smothered in kisses by Grandma! They babysat Saturday night so Jeramy and I could go out to dinner (our first date without the babe!) to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary. At dinner, Jeramy remarked how weird it was to not have Natalie with us. How quickly she's become the center of our world!

We also got a quick visit in with Natalie's cousins, Jared and Chloe. They have grown so much over the past year!
Then we headed to Onie's house where we met great, great aunt Julie. It was a fun visit and Natalie was on her bestest behavior.

Her newest trick is to almost roll over. She gets about 2/3 of the way, but can't quite make it. My bet is she'll be rolling over within a week or two. All of that almost rolling has certainly taken a toll on her beautiful hair! She's got patchy bald spots now, but we're hopeful she'll get it back again someday! She constantly has something in her mouth (usually her hands!) and is drooling a lot more so we think a tooth may be in her not-so-distant future. But, she is very happy most of the time now and is quick to offer a smile to brighten your day.

Much love from Bend...
