A much needed break

We are on the eve of our newly annual trip to the Oregon Coast with the rest of my immediate family. My parents left earlier today, I and my brothers will take our families down tomorrow. I don't remember a more timely or needed break from the shop. Just tonight I was again cussed into staying late on a rush job for a customer. I started my day there at 6:00 am and didn't get out until after 7:30 pm. I did manage to squeeze in a 1/2 hr for lunch. Right now I, and my family, need to get out of town.

I'm really looking forward to Aksel being old enough to enjoy the beach more; no crib, no swing, no bottles, no late night feedings, etc. Adia is excited as always. She can't wait to get started on the 14 hrs of "Adventures in Odyssey" that I've uploaded to my old iPod. She's a big help with Aksel too. Their both just a lot fun right now.

Nat hasn't said much about it, but I know she needs it too. She's put up with a lot of my being gone for work these last couple months. We really need this break and I can't wait to put Sunnyside behind us for a few days. I wish it could be more, but maybe some other time.
