Here are a few pictures from the two weekends that we spent in Junction City, Oregon getting to know our newest kiddo, Tommy Lee. Aaron and I went alone the first weekend. I found the cutest little cottage for us to stay the three days in. Cheaper & nicer than the local motels too. We took Tommy to a bird refuge in Eugene. It was so neat to see so many kinds of birds. The snow owl, bald and golden eagles were my favorite. The the following weekend Dawson and Justin went with us back to Junction City. We spent five days this trip. At the last minute we had to change our over night lodging as the cute little cottage was going to be able to be rented for a couple of months. For the same price we got a two bedroom house. To not confuse Tommy that it wasn't our actual house we referred to the house as the 'pink motel.' Not a pink color fan but the Victorian house looked really neat being painted pink & gray. We were hardly out of Junction City heading home before Tommy started asking, "Are we there?" "How many more seconds?" "How much longer?" etc. etc. We actually had good roads all the way home until we got to our last mountain pass to cross. It was snowing and blowing very hard. Tommy says, "WHAT IS THAT?!" as he sees it snowing outside the front window of Aaron's pickup.

"How many more seconds?" I love it!

Everything it seems with Tommy is "how many more seconds." Grocery shopping this morning with his was just that.
