Audrey Explores the Oregon Coast & Mountains.
Audrey's fifth month included trips exploring a few of the beautiful ameneties Oregon has to offer. Late June, we headed out to the Oregon coast to escape the Portland heat (100°...hot for Portland!). The weather at Gearhart was absolutely perfect for both Audrey and Zoe's first beach trip. Zoe loved swimming in the ocean then digging big holes to lay in and cool off.
The third weekend in July, we went the other direction and took a hike into Mirror Lake; a high alpine lake nestled in the base of Mt. Hood. Both the weather and lake were crystal clear, as were the stunning views of the mountain in the backdrop. Audrey giggled as she watched Zoe fetch tennis balls from the lake, and Dad was proud to see his pup knows to spring from the water and "shake off" right next to Mom!

Four Months and ALL SMILES!
It's been quite a busy two months for the Dylag family. Late April, my company Nau went out of business and while it's unfortunate that things didn't work out, my 'involuntary vacation' did allow us to enjoy some quality time together as a family. After a few weeks of kicking around the house, we had a special weekend with Erin's parents, her 3 sisters and the Ward cousins.
Then it was off to enjoy a few days of serenity at the cabin in Central Oregon. It was Audrey's first cabin trip and Zoe discovered the water for the first time. After that we packed and headed to Sacramento for time with both our families. Upon returning the Oregon, I was able to get away for 2 trips to the middle Deschutes for some great fly fishing just in time for the famed Salmonfly hatch.
Claire has been feeling really well, so early June Shannon loaded Ryan, Claire and Reese in the car for a week of fun in Oregon. The action packed week was a perfect start to kick off the Summer and end my 'sabatical' before starting my new job at Nike. In my new role, I will be the Web Experience Manager for Nike's subsidiary brands; Cole Haan, Converse, Hurley and Umbro. My first day was June 16th.
The past two months have also been special as we were able to celebrate Erin's first Mother's Day as a mommie, and I got to enjoy my first Father's Day.

Audrey's 10 Weeks Already!
So it's been a while since our last posting, but nobody ever told us that this whole parenthood thing was so much work! Time really does fly when you're having fun, and Audrey has been nothing but. She is such an amazing, happy, beautiful baby, and mommy and daddy couldn't be more proud. We find ourselves just staring at her for hours on end...and her smiles make us melt every time.
Audrey has had quite a busy social calendar; lots of play dates with friends and cousin time. She is also well-travelled with two Sacramento trips under her belt, for even more cousin playtime.
Speaking of playtime, mommy and daddy need a bit more Audrey time before beddy-bye. Enjoy the photos of Audrey, which show how she's really grown from two weeks to two months.
