As other's were posting their pictures of their kid's first day back to school, our little one was sending mama off as she returned to work. Returning to work has been a bit of an adjustment trying to balance 'all the things' but we are starting to get into the swing of things. Kenna-Rae is enjoying her time with Daddy, who is on paternity leave until the middle of March.
Cousin time:)
Before we knew it we were at the four month mark!
To celebrate turning four months, we headed down to Oregon to introduce Kenna-Rae to our southern Chamberlin family.

We walked up to the Chamberlin Cemetery in Monmouth
We popped by Colleen's house to say hi.
We visited Connie and Vernon in Myrtle Creek. We got to visit Kylie, Scott, and Billie as well.

| Supersized Jenga! How cool is that? Kylie, Billie, & Scott showed Aaron how it's done. |
Next was up to Reedsport, to Penny & Denny's.

Then it was time to head for home. We stopped at one of our favourite beaches along the way before heading inland at Lincoln City.
Our only restaurant stop was of course at Red Lobster.
Ferry ride back to Victoria.
Kenna-Rae and mama wore Orange on September 30, because Every Child Matters. We acknowledge those children who were forced to attend residential school, including those who never returned home.
