i'm from the country and i like it that way...

so, we've been living in oregon for 2 1/2 months now. i've been a bad blogger. i know. we've been living it up at nana and papa's house with everything we really need and want here. every afternoon is spent poolside with lots of extra time to play with holly (the dog), ride our bikes, water nana's plants, and get lots of extra lovin' from nana, papa, taylor and ashley! we're so grateful to them in letting us stay here for a while.

we have actually found a place to live and will move in about a week. we are very excited to get into our own place and to finally feel a little more settled in oregon. travis has been working full-time at the office now for a couple weeks and is slowly, but surely, getting more and more patients. he's happy to be back at work and practicing dentistry! i am so proud of all of his hard work during school and now to be successful. it's real and is actually happening! yay!

i still miss all of you boston friends! it's amazing how connected you become to those people while your husbands are busy in school. we really are loving being done with school, though and being real people! here are just a few pictures of what's been going on lately.

dr. travis with his name on the door! it's really cool to see his name on all the signs.and his first advertisement! this was in a couple local papers this weekend. if any of you live in the area or have family and friends who do, feel free to pass on the information.calvin is usually exhausted at the end of every day! he stays prett busy around here! plus, who could resist nana's big bed?!and he sits! the day after we got back from my family reunion he started this. just shy of 6 months.

and this is proof that a city girl can survive in the country. i mowed the field one day to help out because this whole family suffers from allergies. so if any of you want to picture my oregon life, try this picture! ha.
