"Hi guys!!"

Probably the friendliest, huggiest friend we know, Finn.

sleepin in the rain

All of the Heit kids sleep super in Portland... tempted to get humidifiers and rain music for each of them.. although I'm sure it wouldn't work here.

Firsts and lasts

Leo loved being the ladies' man here at the quick get together with Katie, Nancy, Molly and Liz's ladies... we just had to get a photo. Missing are big brothers Owen, Kyle and Campbell and big sister Jbird. (L-R) Rey (4mo), Olivia (1yr), Ella (6), Leo (6weeks), Ruby (6mo), Lily (5) and Kate (4mo)

First time meeting Leo's great grandpa Benz before he joined two of his other great grandfathers in heaven.

First time at Nana B and Big Poppi's house..where he loved sleeping all night long and hanging out with his aunties and uncle as well as copious baths from Big P.



Leo's first plane ride to Portland.. he loved it, of course.

big man on campus

couldn't be more opposite his brother. I already don't know where my newborn went... well, he reminds me at 2am....

Wide load

Watch out! Our crew has doubled over the past year and you can't miss us hiking our (pre-happy-hour) hills with the Greens. If this beast doesn't kick me back into shape...

Woodbury University Graduate!

We are so proud of Julia, the latest college grad. So exciting and emotional to see the caps and gowns and realize they're all official, jobless grown-ups now.. and to think, the next graduate in the family will be Jadyn? Is that right?? wow!! time is flying.

"Happy, Happy Mudder's Day"

Campbell has joined right in at the Village Preschool in Nana's class and lucky me, I got to attend the Mother's Day Tea. They sang their songs (which, if he didn't know the words he hums them super loudly... however, he happens to have learned them all pretty quickly... oh, my little glee kid) and made us all tear up with "Thanks for being my mom".. This is as good as it got as far as 'dress up handsome' on that morning.. he ripped off two different selections that he wasn't into.. what have I done?? ugh!




on the playground, telling all of the 'guys' to, "BACK OFF MY BRUDDER"
