A PreThanksgiving Update.

My brother Lars and his girlfriend Jenny are trekking up from Portland for Thanksgiving with us. We can't wait! But until then... here are a few shots of what we've been up to. 

Mark and Kooper at the top of a 1/2 mile climb up from the Cowiche Canyon Trail. Just behind them is a vineyard and tasting room.

Here I am at the top looking the opposite direction.

Slowly trodding along... It is a lot harder to go up hill carrying the extra baby weight (and or course, being extra careful not to fall)!

The growing belly. 26 + weeks.

How big will I be at 40 weeks?!?!

Bashful Baby Boy Swanson! Our new Washington doctor wanted to do their own ultrasound- so here are the shots from the latest photoshoot.

Our new place. We are renting this big, wonderful farm house just about 1/2 mile from our new church. We're settling in well, though you'll see from the pictures that there are still a few boxes and piles around. There are 3 bedrooms plus one nursery-to-be so we really do have plenty of room for guests. Come enjoy our mountain views, yummy apples (those are apple trees ALL around the house) and Yakima Valley wines. Bring your suits- we even have a pool!
