These pictures were taken 2 years ago in July.  I cannot believe how the kids have changed in such a short time.  At that time I wasn’t a mother-in-law yet or a Grammy.  The little imp looks so little.

This was my birthday.  Where am I?  I am terrified of heights and cannot climb the stairs at the Astoria Column so I was down on the ground watching.   I remember this birthday because hubby and I spent a few days in Astoria and the kids all came down to spend my birthday with me.  It was the last time we spent it as just our little family.  I remember missing the “extras” that day because by that point, they had become family, too…but in a way, this was just a sweet time.

These are the stairs they climbed and the little imp did just fine. 

When we were first married,hubby and I tried to go up these stairs, I was determined to “get over” my fear of heights.  It was one of my most embarrassing moments because I froze partway up and people had to wait as Kenny backed me down the stairs.  Amazingly, the people waiting for us were from our little town, 2 hours away.  Now I just wait as they all go up every chance they get.  I just love how the little imp is making sure he is copying his dad.
