My plan is to do wordless Wednesday's once my camera has batteries and I remember to take pictures. As it is though, I thought it might be fun to revisit where we were three years ago.

Three years ago I was the mother of a 2yr old and a 3mo old. J was struggling to find work and my parents asked him to build a shed to house the equipment and panels for their solar power system at the cabin they have in Eastern Oregon. As it was expected to take at least 10-12 days, we all went. The trip took 16 days and it rained almost the entire time. It was also wonderful though. Rosie Girl was just starting to be truly curious about everything and we spent hours with Tractor Boy in the Ergo while we traipsed around the fields looking at wild flowers and taking long walks. We had never had a vacation together before and even though J had to work most of the time, the fact that we were all together each day and could steal some moments here and there was a glorious change.

Three years later, J is still working as a timber framer at the job he got just weeks after finishing the solar shed. The kids are 3 and 5 and that was still the closest thing we've ever had to a family vacation.
