Portland, Savannah

Brad and I have been in Portland the last two days looking at new equipment for the dental office. It was a busy, quick, fun trip! Portland’s weather was beautiful today. It was nice to enjoy the fall weather as we toured the A Dec campus. And we both tried calamari last night for the first time ever. It was an interesting experience!

We made it home tonight around 10 PM and the kids had waited up for us. They had the best babysitter ever, as they say. Savannah just graduated from high school this past May and is going to turn her mission papers in in a few months. I was so happy that she was willing and able to be here with the kids while we were gone. After we waved goodbye to her Tenley and Ryder started to cry. “I love Savannah so much! Whenever you get a babysitter it HAS to be Savannah! I want to go visit Savannah tomorrow and play with her,” they kept saying through their tears. I cuddled with Ryder in his bed until he fell asleep-which took about 5 seconds-and Tenley kept popping up out of her bed with new fun stories to tell me about. They went to the Children’s museum, the Candy store, McDonalds, Cold Stone and the park. They made crafts and she taught them how to okay the ukulele. She definitely is the best babysitter ever!
