The last few weeks of summer have been nothing but good, despite starting my oh so crazy school and work schedule last week. Cody and I have gotten most of the house put together (finally!), just a few things to drop off at Goodwill and some pictures to hang up and it will be complete. I'll share some pictures soon.
On a WAY more exciting note than school and cleaning, we welcomed the newest addition to Cody's family into the world on September 7, his new nephew Van Gryffin Callon. He is seven pounds of absolute cuteness!!! I already had the pleasure of doing a few of his newborn pictures with the help of Cody's sister Keana--Van's momma : ) --and we got a few good ones in before he had had enough of us trying to mold him into poses...so far this is my favorite, take 2 is being held this weekend so hopefully we'll get some more good ones for Keana and the rest of the family to enjoy.
My last little excursion of the summer was this past weekend. Cody had "planned" a trip for my birthday, and 6 weeks later we had a weekend we could do it. We stayed in Astoria, OR and had absolutely perfect weather the whole trip. We made our way about 50 miles down the Oregon coast on Saturday, stopping in Seaside, Cannon Beach, and Oswald State Park. Since I didn't know where we were going and therefore did not know how to pack, we had no blankets or anything to take down to the beach and just relax in the sand, but nonetheless I had a great time walking on the different beaches and enjoying the sunshine--and of course taking lots of pictures : )

One of the best pictures of Cody and I--thank you stranger! : )

Back to the grind--daily quizzes in Biochem are keeping me on top of things, which means I really do have time to sit, stare, breathe...even if it is just for a few minutes ; )
