September/ October

So now that I have a blog I am starting to feel more motivated to take pictures or get pictures from friends so I can add them to this blog. We have been so blessed lately to have such a great group of friends which gets us out and enjoying Portland and each other. We started September with Rian's birthday where we had an around the world beer tasting party at our house. We had everyone bring a beer from a different country and we ended up with about 20 different beers. Rian really enjoyed it and I think got some great inspiration for some new beers to brew. This is what our fridge looked like that night!!!!




This last month we made it to our first Timbers game which I felt bad about being the soccer player that I am. We went with the Mildrens and the Clarks and had a blast! Unfortunately the Timbers did not win that night but we are definitely planning to go to more games next year!

And of course we went this last weekend to pick out our pumpkins for Halloween and we took Brewer who I am not sure entirely enjoyed it. He liked the people and the other dogs but was a little uncertain about the horses and goats. We met BJ, Jen, Jake, Lynette, Rick, and the rest of the Harrington clan there. This was Jake's second year at the pumpkin patch although last year he was only one month old. He loved it and it was great having all the family there to support him.

And so it begins...

After months of begging from my dear friend Brooklyn I finally started a blog. I am hoping this will encourage me to take more pictures share more events and have great memories to look back on. Hopefully this is the first of many posts to come....
