Just like the first time…

We were able to spend last weekend at a resort near Redmond, Oregon called Eagle Crest. It’s mostly a golf resort with three 18-hole courses. We spent our honeymoon there 3 years ago and decided to return to the scene for our 3rd anniversary. Let me tell you, it was just like the first time around. Not. This time we had an 8 month old kid, less money, and mostly just enjoyed having a big jacuzzi tub to soak in.

We had a very pleasant and relaxing weekend, all in all.  We got out walking several times during our stay.  And since we’re approaching winter, we didn’t need to dodge any golf balls or anything like that.  There is a nice river trail in addition to the paved paths through the neighborhoods and golf courses, so we found some nice variety.  Not only that, but it was sunny down there most of the weekend, albeit a little on the chilly side.

Monday morning as we were getting ready to leave I stumbled out the door to take some things to the car and there were five or six deer standing around munching on various plants.  They casually looked up at me and generally kept their distance, but overall didn’t seem too concerned that I was there and had disturbed their breakfast.  It was a fun surprise ending to our stay at Eagle Crest.

Enjoy the pictures.

New Diapers!

Last week I received my new Anne Marie Padorie (AMP) Duo Pocket diapers! It is obviously too soon to provide a useful review of function and durability, but I can say that they fit amazingly, are very cute, and are trim enough to fit under jeans (if you scoff at the importance of any of these factors, you are probably not a cloth-diapering mom!).

AMP Diapers are a Canadian brand that have just entered the US market. Erika Martin is currently selling the diapers as a special order product through her website www.christeningday.com, but she is developing a new website through which she will sell these, and possibly other diapers and baby products. Once she has her new website up and running, she will have stock of AMP diapers available for immediate purchase and shipping.

Stay tuned for future reviews and comparisons to other cloth diapers…
