Larratt Visit

So, as per usual, I've been a bad blogger.  I have actually been doing some fun things, but I've been so tired at night, I forget to blog.  My bad! I figured if Megs can start catching up on her backlog, I can too! So here goes.  Catch up number one: visiting the Larratts.

I got to go see my favorite Spokane-trasplanted family for Veteran's Day weekend (three whole days off? Heaven!)  I headed down to Vancouver, WA for a restful weekend with Greg and Melissa and two of my favorite little ones JJ and Sammy.  The mini-vacation was exactly what I needed.  JJ and I played and watched Cars 2.

I got to snuggle TONS with Sammy Jo (she's the sweetest giant 6-month old you've ever seen).

Melissa and I visited, and visited, and visited some more.   Good lord I have missed my friend.  Hurry up and sell that house lady and get back here! 


I got two hats knitted up (matching hats for Melissa and Sammy, so cute). 
I did absolutely NO grading (shocking, I know). 

We visited one of the two Portland venues that are on my bucketlist, Powell's.  Oh my gosh, talk about a personal Mecca.  A book store that needs a map to navigate through? I died for sure!

Needless to say, a great time was had by all. Hopefully though, this will be my last Vancouver visit.  Greg has been given a promotion at GE this fall; he will now manage all of the Eastern Washington, and Alaska accounts for them, which means they get to move back to Spokane...just as soon as they sell their house.  So throw a lot of prayers their way, and if you know anyone in Vancouver looking to buy a great house, send them the Larratt's way!
