Perfect to pair with a warm cup of tea on a drizzly spring day in Oregon. The recipe didn't dissapoint, but instead of the sophisticated presentation I found online, Abby and I pressed the sticky sweet dough into our teddy bear demarle pan for a fun, kid friendly treat.<br /><br />HoneyBars:<br />3/4 c. oil<br />1/4 c. honey<br />1 c. sugar<br />1 egg<br />2 c. flour<br />1/2 tsp. baking soda<br />1/2 tsp. salt<br />1 tsp. cinnamon<br /><br />Mix oil, honey, sugar, and egg together and set aside. Mix dry ingredients together. Add dry to wet ingredients and mix well (expect a thick, pasty batter). Spread into a greased pan* (the recipe suggested a cookie sheet). Bake at 325 for 15-18 minutes.<br /><br />*We used a demarle silicone bake pan so we did not add any grease.<br /><br />Icing:<br />1 c. powder sugar<br />1 tsp vanilla*<br />milk as needed for consistency<br /><br />*I did 3/4 tsp vanilla and 1/4 tsp almond for flavor<br /><br />Ice the bars while still warm. Cut into squares once cool.The Osterink Galshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16580499173219534356noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794385285055756822.post-6244163678655096382009-03-11T13:36:00.000-07:002009-03-11T14:00:41.082-07:00Blogging...I haven't been a very good blogger... perhaps it's that I always put off sitting down to write unless I have time to post pictures as well, or maybe it's because I am so busy between work and kids, or maybe I am just lazy. It certainly isn't for lack of things to talk about... so here goes, another feeble attempt to keep this site up to date (regardless of if I can post pictures).<br /><br />Just when we thought the weather had turned for the better, we got snow - in March! I think the kids and myself are all a bit stir crazy for warmer days when we can play at the park without needing hats, gloves, clothes of many layers, coats... on and on.<br /><br />Caleigh is growing like a weed. She is our little string bean, tall and thin, and her caramel colored curls are coming in to frame her face in sunlight. Sunlight actually best describes her! She is so easy going, tumbling haphazardly through this life, always trying to get into something and trying desperately to win her sister's affections. Caleigh loves: her blankie, baby dolls, running around "nakie" (naked), finding her belly, finding (and poking) your eyes, and books. She has quite the vocab, perhaps a bit more than Abigail at this age, in part because she listens and tries to repeat everything you say. Daddy calls her his "little boy" (he wishes) because compared to her older sis, she doesn't mind getting dirty, climbs on everything, is able to take a tumble w/o tears, and laughs like an old man - a deep belly laugh that surprises me and makes me smile every time. Caleigh is still not much of a sleeper, but I'll be damned if she drops her only nap this early!!<br /><br />Abigail continues to challenge and amaze us. She is a very sensitive little girl, creative and dramatic - most happy in her own little dream world I think. This is not unlike someone else I used to know (me maybe?). She is the polar opposite of her sister - dark thick curls and constant attention to detail. Abby has a photographic memory, reciting songs and books verbatim - I am just amazed. Abby loves: princesses, playing baby (she is the baby) or playing mommy, reading books, doing school work, ballet. At school, Abby is learning a new letter each week, and while she already knew her letters going in, she is now learning phonics and reading - so she likes to point out street signs everywhere we go with the latest letter. She is also obsessed with growing up - we actually had a fight that lasted all the way to school about when she could turn five (5), as if I was somehow holding her back from this magical age. I know that I have told her that she gets to go to the big school (i.e. public school) when she turns 5, so perhaps this explains the obsession. She also loves school buses and can spot them a mile away which invariably leads to the "when will I be 5" discussion.<br /><br />Our days are full lately - these two little princesses keep us on our toes. I still love working part-time, though there are days when I think I am way better at my job than as a mom. I get totally overwhelmed by why I can't seem to keep my house clean, come up with creative new activities with the kids, cook, sew, save the planet, on and on... but then Caleigh smiles, or Abby sings a new song about animals (American Idol she is not) and I am saved for the moment... Abby just woke up and is doing chasse moves around the kitchen to get my attention... til next time...The Osterink Galshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16580499173219534356noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794385285055756822.post-21703973300032230002008-10-26T21:11:00.000-07:002008-10-26T21:23:05.156-07:00Mmmm, Apples :)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNtpXlaSrvvw-aeJA0nHIkkNYhWE3pV68VP4xZA4q2sZKgZ8dPB2QdLoC20GdLj9bb6HOWi3-LbpmEfMXTe5mf4CDPjlz3XEB-FcOAG3F8-p0J6RPIYrVKJsTpORtonU-yh1IunK-keq57/s1600-h/IMG_1418.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261684071059882994" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNtpXlaSrvvw-aeJA0nHIkkNYhWE3pV68VP4xZA4q2sZKgZ8dPB2QdLoC20GdLj9bb6HOWi3-LbpmEfMXTe5mf4CDPjlz3XEB-FcOAG3F8-p0J6RPIYrVKJsTpORtonU-yh1IunK-keq57/s320/IMG_1418.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmST94Y44lvZ8Xumi720D55llOUT1Wb2qhRgB_N9r7CyoEkDoIFTTu50RWTTcwQq50OgJThPWLKup6pfVRbvUa_KYPdGntBKf5xli8rIEfJe2TT1kGEjcJ_FkkZO5k4dT2UKWuLZ1wIOaw/s1600-h/IMG_1391.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261684057809438434" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmST94Y44lvZ8Xumi720D55llOUT1Wb2qhRgB_N9r7CyoEkDoIFTTu50RWTTcwQq50OgJThPWLKup6pfVRbvUa_KYPdGntBKf5xli8rIEfJe2TT1kGEjcJ_FkkZO5k4dT2UKWuLZ1wIOaw/s320/IMG_1391.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2R7VFi3Tum_OFGoW2o00I2C0eowUSA2BL2ruh1nm8aHg1y6XbfDigGUjZ47byP6zeh8BFI75P2F4mLGP-EynJML7iDYZFkRwetXPBtYuLr0rfOxfXI4kIZ2nDs3ExmrKEoMC84kA2D7cf/s1600-h/IMG_1414.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261684076370398770" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2R7VFi3Tum_OFGoW2o00I2C0eowUSA2BL2ruh1nm8aHg1y6XbfDigGUjZ47byP6zeh8BFI75P2F4mLGP-EynJML7iDYZFkRwetXPBtYuLr0rfOxfXI4kIZ2nDs3ExmrKEoMC84kA2D7cf/s320/IMG_1414.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9clp8J-w9xV40HkKcYFjsILDQflKaZimgaOZ5O-0pPGv2Fenql68jseYDfwAc2CMJGHnt4w34DmyEhpdNA2BokRmgvC9C6DDhMvWsOdPcGXZ9L9DayMb2Q1qOrg40026wJvZVO2t1aev1/s1600-h/IMG_1394.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261684064697576418" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9clp8J-w9xV40HkKcYFjsILDQflKaZimgaOZ5O-0pPGv2Fenql68jseYDfwAc2CMJGHnt4w34DmyEhpdNA2BokRmgvC9C6DDhMvWsOdPcGXZ9L9DayMb2Q1qOrg40026wJvZVO2t1aev1/s320/IMG_1394.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbfu5qW8X1FRUK-d43eKwdv3oGFMxJ0Cm7NJysLwF20JdqAnCDBK8-i2DIxZrFoKPHb0wYE8Z0aOZ4Hoz-R2gpNXvGcOuiihJ1PsIjnqtPsFD-4Ktwuxxtgq-8sxvw7kXaHuAsIwgpSCT3/s1600-h/IMG_1407.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261684056918719042" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbfu5qW8X1FRUK-d43eKwdv3oGFMxJ0Cm7NJysLwF20JdqAnCDBK8-i2DIxZrFoKPHb0wYE8Z0aOZ4Hoz-R2gpNXvGcOuiihJ1PsIjnqtPsFD-4Ktwuxxtgq-8sxvw7kXaHuAsIwgpSCT3/s320/IMG_1407.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>The weather here in the northwest is really holding out for us - so we decided to seize the good fortune and head out to the "Fruit Loop" in the Hood River Valley for some apple picking. The girls were troopers for the long drive, which was worth it. We found a great farm and picked a whole bunch of apples. Afterwards, the girls played on the play fort there on the property. We finished it up with a nice lunch in town. All in all a very enjoyable outing!</div></div></div></div></div>The Osterink Galshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16580499173219534356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794385285055756822.post-40680062844659556662008-10-25T22:30:00.001-07:002008-10-25T22:36:52.291-07:00More Photos of the Birthday Party<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik8xnCyiCwoPTfqLHHLTyLVQG96rMnedWYqrvmYYvNr4u1yu2INU4z9UCSDm4Ha5LLWedZGeqq7j4HKPg1xc8MTVzJKT7kELm7oL3HP2jbSEO-HT9XHDhI_B_mNwalMboCXh5uOgZ03MvW/s1600-h/IMG_1384.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261331986590724098" style="FLOAT: right;

I can't believe its already that time; it seems like only yesterday I was pregnant with her. If her birth was any indication, Caleigh is an easygoing, light-hearted, mellow little girl. She just rolls with life without complaint. She is sometimes quite serious - getting this contemplative, observant look on her face - but make no mistake, she is a little comedian. She loves following her sister around and is not afraid of anything - I mean anything. She climbs on everything, hasn't found a cord or other safety hazard she isn't curious about, and started walking well before today.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>She loves kitty cats, dogs, baby dolls and the Moon, Moon, Moon song. She says "Abba" for her sister Abby, "itty" for the kitty cat, and says "baby" clear as day. Though she still isn't a great sleeper, its made up for with her wonderful disposition.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>To celebrate her first birthday we held a party at the Plumper Pumpkin Patch off Old Cornelius Pass Rd. She found a little pumpkin right away and didn't put it down the whole time, carrying it around the patch with her. She met the baby calf (who licked her) and the pigs - no pony ride this year (sorry C).

Abby started preschool at the ABC Children's Academy. She attends 3 days a week and is loving teacher Debbie, Kimberly, and Pat. The things she is learning are invcredible. Already she is writing her own name, and comes home with new sign language every day.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Oregon football season started as well - We had 3 home games in September and tailgated a bunch. The girls even got into the act, sporting their green and yellow - GO DUCKS!!</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Finally, there are just some photos of the girls doing their thing - I think they are starting to realize how fun it is to have a sister around to play with. They love to read books together, take walks, play at the park, and chase each other around the house. Caleigh has started taking lots of steps - 4-5 at a time. Walking can't be far off. Abby started ballet/tap classes at a real dance studio. She loves it and its a great outlet for her energy. We are very excited for next month - Caleigh turns 1!!!</div></div></div></div>The Osterink Galshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16580499173219534356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794385285055756822.post-34984954799157114942008-08-30T21:46:00.000-07:002008-10-25T21:57:49.263-07:00More Camp Sherman Photos<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvG1eTd09lh3aZSgPFMwVNpemF0lPomTnagkjS7F-KyScvozu0kibOuVmUwCtM2A5RvgtKc4xBiD4iJbfpBYYDUtRsZE0cvdnYzL5gmRcP3wpGLDesuajnHuRwa6c0IRPzdux6gZcR9JUx/s1600-h/IMG_1138.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261320757551860770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvG1eTd09lh3aZSgPFMwVNpemF0lPomTnagkjS7F-KyScvozu0kibOuVmUwCtM2A5RvgtKc4xBiD4iJbfpBYYDUtRsZE0cvdnYzL5gmRcP3wpGLDesuajnHuRwa6c0IRPzdux6gZcR9JUx/s320/IMG_1138.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA5d2EC5Pjk9jc-9hHW4-h07zDAPp5E7TfGBrS5RNIXqr0tlHrrIBCKWGOY2v3NZcf6cjf4ZOTyxbsxnn48Lw7EphGGH6e-EyToJCq9WT21nhx_M7UUM7wg0KWOKWcfl5ES4CAKNYGAtIe/s1600-h/IMG_1123.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261320752736800690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA5d2EC5Pjk9jc-9hHW4-h07zDAPp5E7TfGBrS5RNIXqr0tlHrrIBCKWGOY2v3NZcf6cjf4ZOTyxbsxnn48Lw7EphGGH6e-EyToJCq9WT21nhx_M7UUM7wg0KWOKWcfl5ES4CAKNYGAtIe/s320/IMG_1123.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVEcufaM8T5ioBbXKMVv5dJ2iJSFDeaIbn-B10eRiSZVY66vt-Uc8sJ0_t1Xpru_sywgpBKfmNX7Itv_MezdOxs8qh7lkP04bOCACqroCMMYkqz1w68Im5cqICN5kkZAwScDzlCazzDicD/s1600-h/IMG_1101.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261320745984354514" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVEcufaM8T5ioBbXKMVv5dJ2iJSFDeaIbn-B10eRiSZVY66vt-Uc8sJ0_t1Xpru_sywgpBKfmNX7Itv_MezdOxs8qh7lkP04bOCACqroCMMYkqz1w68Im5cqICN5kkZAwScDzlCazzDicD/s320/IMG_1101.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF8yNFrZ0Uvi-o5N35oEZO2rtqNs15vB1nR0I1Z95Un6ywZpFgo5xqEC7Tk7vV15uRXUpQvDgEh2yQmW0-Ygx2_SMryQy9sE-cHaIXUqtSs099q1YPtkJ8ZgeakGCGG8sDaGhmN8Qf3nZQ/s1600-h/IMG_1095.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261320739394457570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF8yNFrZ0Uvi-o5N35oEZO2rtqNs15vB1nR0I1Z95Un6ywZpFgo5xqEC7Tk7vV15uRXUpQvDgEh2yQmW0-Ygx2_SMryQy9sE-cHaIXUqtSs099q1YPtkJ8ZgeakGCGG8sDaGhmN8Qf3nZQ/s320/IMG_1095.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Here are some more photos from our trip...</div></div></div></div>The Osterink Galshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16580499173219534356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794385285055756822.post-40542819380545101482008-08-30T21:26:00.000-07:002008-10-25T22:00:15.786-07:00We heart Camp ShermanIn August the family headed to Camp Sherman, Oregon for a little R & R. We have been vacationing in this area (just 15 minutes West of Sisters) for about 6 years now and what is not to like?! Beautiful landscape, easy hikes for kids and parents, and the Lake Creek Lodge (with its famous baked pancake - yum!). Mimi and Papa (aka Dean's parents) and his brother Greg and wife Tina also joined us for a 4 day stay. I wish it had been longer! We took many visits to the "funny tree", watched our Uncle Greg fly-fish, played in the pool, and watched Caleigh perfect her early walking skills (she is so close!!).

The end of July was pretty uneventful - lots of playing in the park, hanging out at Nana's pool. Caleigh went from standing up and slowly cruising to standing by herself and fast cruising - she keeps trying to take steps - I think it will happen before she turns 1. Her favorite word right now is Abba - for Abby. She just loves her sissy so much. Abby continues with her dance class and swimming - she is a voracious reader - memorizing books faster than we can read them... she has actually branched out in her eating for once, eating more of what I cook for the whole family instead of her staple foods of mac n' cheese and chicken nuggets. Caleigh, on the other hand, completely boycotted baby food - will only eat big girl food like turkey sandwiches, quesadillas, chicken nuggets - the kid is wise beyone her years (and growing up too fast!).... here are some photos for the end of July and beginning of August....</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhgWLmYZW-VCBh_v5-FAQql0dI6hCGx35reAI-yyxMfIlX7zdLV1lJB3bROVh1VaHIv4WytzEdQQoJ3GOEjIgT7ZgUaet3atnZL-dCAddmHIjbTNlDMyftZKWzUckyd1uiK4VaebQLlqip/s1600-h/IMG_0793.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233472102221706930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhgWLmYZW-VCBh_v5-FAQql0dI6hCGx35reAI-yyxMfIlX7zdLV1lJB3bROVh1VaHIv4WytzEdQQoJ3GOEjIgT7ZgUaet3atnZL-dCAddmHIjbTNlDMyftZKWzUckyd1uiK4VaebQLlqip/s320/IMG_0793.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_PiDwMich5S2VBeKw_imS8Lc-ARpXEayHYne3dN8RItKRq8UnKasNFdsj4UcF6s8f5561rmrlLQtIuNhJhNQkF2ws_dHC1WdCI-SWef8hpKIsrRBI7IlDtQpFULz8h4ENhiR0wQ9DRZJV/s1600-h/IMG_0851.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233472106684825938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_PiDwMich5S2VBeKw_imS8Lc-ARpXEayHYne3dN8RItKRq8UnKasNFdsj4UcF6s8f5561rmrlLQtIuNhJhNQkF2ws_dHC1WdCI-SWef8hpKIsrRBI7IlDtQpFULz8h4ENhiR0wQ9DRZJV/s320/IMG_0851.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Zfn7LvRdjMvlQDuqM045RKJll0_gj4_ERIrwIoE3q8CEx5gfGUkWKjU3WlxB6lgli2VJ-P4IkZL_rtCSrOoO9OQlFBiXjpep09jcwGMJCq-40GtVAVj3f3ehSFLx2VlN0BkyGC2bZnAJ/s1600-h/Pics+June-August+108.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233472117796289906" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Zfn7LvRdjMvlQDuqM045RKJll0_gj4_ERIrwIoE3q8CEx5gfGUkWKjU3WlxB6lgli2VJ-P4IkZL_rtCSrOoO9OQlFBiXjpep09jcwGMJCq-40GtVAVj3f3ehSFLx2VlN0BkyGC2bZnAJ/s320/Pics+June-August+108.jpg" border="0" /></a>The Osterink Galshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16580499173219534356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794385285055756822.post-56176501792132510602008-07-16T21:00:00.000-07:002008-12-10T20:03:21.255-08:00Ridin along in my automobile....<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQPtFpsinMO4qdydS8Ad93EzXz4XffO9mp02JQ7I0WvmgOvrOCSmurIVK4Nx6tUaIrzY8WPIPX9JL5gzW6Wi7-VC67VeHZ763tfN52DpioK8eQpL8nVXowZYVrsuV1lAY2s8fe5cFhAcnF/s1600-h/IMG_0864.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225319563869091650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQPtFpsinMO4qdydS8Ad93EzXz4XffO9mp02JQ7I0WvmgOvrOCSmurIVK4Nx6tUaIrzY8WPIPX9JL5gzW6Wi7-VC67VeHZ763tfN52DpioK8eQpL8nVXowZYVrsuV1lAY2s8fe5cFhAcnF/s400/IMG_0864.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>We got Caleigh a little pink push car today... she and Abby took to the streets to test out their hot wheels...

The Fourth of July and I are frenimies... Don't get me wrong, I love my country and all that. What I don't particularly like is that we have day that gives abnoxious Americans license to blow things up until all hours of the night for fun. It wasn't always that way. There was a time that I loved this great excuse for a bbq - all the food and friends. When we lived in SoCal, you did the Fourth right - bbq and hang out and then go down to the beach to watch a great fireworks show. See fireworks are illegal in San Diego. Here in Oregon, however, not only are they not illegal, they have a roadside stand every 15 feet encouraging people to burn their money. Our current neighborhood is better than N. Portland - there, we could expect fireworks going for 2 weeks before, 2 weeks after and usually until 2-3am. Here in suburbia, we are tame - but the show still goes on until 11 or 12 and generally keeps both my kids awake - and not one bit happy about it either.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Ok - enough of my soapbox rant... to mark the day, we had the Fernstroms over (Tim, Robin, Natalie and Nolan) for a traditional bbq. Abigail got dressed in her red white and blue and Caleigh enjoyed having another baby to join her in her "baby jail" for playtime... it was a really nice relaxing day... too bad we had to move a screaming Caleigh from her bedroom into a pack n' play in our closet around 11 pm b/c she was awake and not going back to sleep with the sound of Bagdad outside her window... ahhh, maybe next year we'll go to Sunriver for the week - I hear they ban fireworks there :)</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVdNeVJr_FGb5e4S9LC7o-KispcfFzkal_iP6TuiXemPX8AVE0-kwfCDiHidxIUSuvCEYLNzv8W9PCxPkTlQ2Ceo7TpLCP3SgzTpHLTEi7kH1pcE5-485aOZlvht6KHo8iN4mh-UWe_Wz9/s1600-h/IMG_0765.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225312290452130434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVdNeVJr_FGb5e4S9LC7o-KispcfFzkal_iP6TuiXemPX8AVE0-kwfCDiHidxIUSuvCEYLNzv8W9PCxPkTlQ2Ceo7TpLCP3SgzTpHLTEi7kH1pcE5-485aOZlvht6KHo8iN4mh-UWe_Wz9/s200/IMG_0765.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg51EBhPJHlGOc7oKILCVVICj1HVD7UPUi5n0vht_W5oHWLH59ZVUctbKlXwklwsbQOJZ9GTPlYy0O26orUIC0RYOotBVCgBRLGUXRJizZXYVxy7BWsgVLAWeOW61TlSvWrrZpTqN6BgLCu/s1600-h/IMG_0768.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225312308706833634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg51EBhPJHlGOc7oKILCVVICj1HVD7UPUi5n0vht_W5oHWLH59ZVUctbKlXwklwsbQOJZ9GTPlYy0O26orUIC0RYOotBVCgBRLGUXRJizZXYVxy7BWsgVLAWeOW61TlSvWrrZpTqN6BgLCu/s200/IMG_0768.jpg" border="0" /></a>The Osterink Galshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16580499173219534356noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794385285055756822.post-16053604967191292642008-06-30T20:35:00.000-07:002008-12-10T20:03:22.823-08:00Playgroup comes to the Osterinks<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuuUB6zaK66Thf0ZasOV-RaXkCFFQTmMO9StSWuxCH_p5scVItLGh8SBWpGHQkHKKMpljVt7rVvuroJuK54J2morEd262_HFRAbfb4Mv4Va03VvzAerwYT0wjsUxDRqYzkqPrJh_jymTqb/s1600-h/IMG_0749.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225307988294649970" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuuUB6zaK66Thf0ZasOV-RaXkCFFQTmMO9StSWuxCH_p5scVItLGh8SBWpGHQkHKKMpljVt7rVvuroJuK54J2morEd262_HFRAbfb4Mv4Va03VvzAerwYT0wjsUxDRqYzkqPrJh_jymTqb/s200/IMG_0749.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiumMfxSF0ZmMDdSe8GWR-fepkCoonIa4uzFp8uEq_xeVXfPrhSLkPLIF9EYubBnHPUCyfz_m5v6kMiOZ9O4qa5TkEdiVHEsBfADpMu46K7iWkgg1IsMm3r3MDZovixgIVl81PtxQGhqw9A/s1600-h/IMG_0751.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225307992385788834" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiumMfxSF0ZmMDdSe8GWR-fepkCoonIa4uzFp8uEq_xeVXfPrhSLkPLIF9EYubBnHPUCyfz_m5v6kMiOZ9O4qa5TkEdiVHEsBfADpMu46K7iWkgg1IsMm3r3MDZovixgIVl81PtxQGhqw9A/s200/IMG_0751.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSgWrBE2GBFqJbZWnLoEjnpJ-ScyqazCFcKUO7NchdKMMEKluu4byDZhnohdf2vcamAuSTMEHSyNg7jgnYA44ZRQouKByaHvAjstmSLRvM3iNtzBP5tRao2iq7R9j7GlBc9gLvpEnyVl1G/s1600-h/IMG_0754.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225307996711050962" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSgWrBE2GBFqJbZWnLoEjnpJ-ScyqazCFcKUO7NchdKMMEKluu4byDZhnohdf2vcamAuSTMEHSyNg7jgnYA44ZRQouKByaHvAjstmSLRvM3iNtzBP5tRao2iq7R9j7GlBc9gLvpEnyVl1G/s200/IMG_0754.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>We hosted playgroup this week - lots of wet and wild fun. The kids played in the new whale shaped pool, swang on the swings, and a good time was had by all. I don't usually have my camera around when our playgroup meets, yet we spend so much of our time with these kids (and their mommies) that its nice to finally post some shots of our gal pals (and a few boys now too). Abby has known these kids since she was 6 weeks old and its really getting cute to watch them play together like siblings or cousins because they just know each other so well.</div>The Osterink Galshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16580499173219534356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794385285055756822.post-36994042955585632422008-06-12T14:11:00.000-07:002008-12-10T20:03:23.386-08:00Happy 8 months Caleigh!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3sY3FvDDe62YsoeJTpifTu4wuN0zDRWetSUtzTYPoLB3c5swCgDLPsH-BlyK8lxOE3E22cPFxzQK5V45zNFOLBr_Di7sFhNkUMXHgXXyuzI_19RVxIXdTgypf_LjM7UXT1Z77TaOMqDvr/s1600-h/IMG_0728.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224836736303989522" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3sY3FvDDe62YsoeJTpifTu4wuN0zDRWetSUtzTYPoLB3c5swCgDLPsH-BlyK8lxOE3E22cPFxzQK5V45zNFOLBr_Di7sFhNkUMXHgXXyuzI_19RVxIXdTgypf_LjM7UXT1Z77TaOMqDvr/s200/IMG_0728.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqhCpGFfllBuOT79pAXAfrQvo0sX3sSrEEYvQ5SP90TRTTRwUUGvgZO5AXKFQClC3eC6q2hjTUOjlzAdkVT6ZfvMPmDpO0vNLQBcMH-IWYTJ6w8dGoAuNAhOMMTflLlhnIfikRmbH6J0KK/s1600-h/IMG_0736.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224836742123714082" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqhCpGFfllBuOT79pAXAfrQvo0sX3sSrEEYvQ5SP90TRTTRwUUGvgZO5AXKFQClC3eC6q2hjTUOjlzAdkVT6ZfvMPmDpO0vNLQBcMH-IWYTJ6w8dGoAuNAhOMMTflLlhnIfikRmbH6J0KK/s200/IMG_0736.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5uRqqYLQUGzOPjPQ-oNlrBjVeFjKRJ9eLpPWHdvn8PXY04zZhzukpOuloi8o8tNvEiEMdLa9haB3JOXAMNTa96BMtuXfDmcKTgettg6u79TCd-yLLJdIGBgycAv8c5X7I5QEdtkXP1Cm4/s1600-h/IMG_0737.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5224836748549347346" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5uRqqYLQUGzOPjPQ-oNlrBjVeFjKRJ9eLpPWHdvn8PXY04zZhzukpOuloi8o8tNvEiEMdLa9haB3JOXAMNTa96BMtuXfDmcKTgettg6u79TCd-yLLJdIGBgycAv8c5X7I5QEdtkXP1Cm4/s200/IMG_0737.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Miss Caleigh Marie is eight months old today - hooray! As you can see by the pictures she is one wiggly worm. Caleigh has really developed a certain sense of humor. We love her crooked smile, and her snorty laugh (when she gets excited she starts breathing heavy - hyperventilating really - its comedy to watch her an Abby go at it).<br />She has 4 teeth (two top and two bottom) and the teething continues. Food is still an issue - the kids has jumped right over baby food and into solids - must be the older sibling. She sleeps through the night occasionally (oops, did I just jinx it? D****!). From crawling to pulling up, Caleigh wants to do everything the big kids can do, YIKES!</div>The Osterink Galshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16580499173219534356noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794385285055756822.post-31173090955174986932008-06-06T22:28:00.001-07:002008-12-10T20:03:23.605-08:00Mine, All Mine<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjneqSNs-e6SvPfCQ7360rVoimyf8oYPKrbg5Z6Ukr8qsOOXJiXX1txt_ZyFPzxDh7yMFDGjumt0r5iOGzs1ejZLDOa9yANQqKk2jE-tXG8xFRkEgKsSlVy3kb6dGPFK_5w_yWkGO55rbo-/s1600-h/Pics+-+Jan-May2008+492.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209007650304479090" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjneqSNs-e6SvPfCQ7360rVoimyf8oYPKrbg5Z6Ukr8qsOOXJiXX1txt_ZyFPzxDh7yMFDGjumt0r5iOGzs1ejZLDOa9yANQqKk2jE-tXG8xFRkEgKsSlVy3kb6dGPFK_5w_yWkGO55rbo-/s400/Pics+-+Jan-May2008+492.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Caleigh got her first real toy that was 100% all hers.

I should really capture more pics of the fun things we do - never seem to have a camera on hand! In May we had a great outdoor playgroup at the Fernstom house - they got multiple inflatable fun toys (bouncy house and pool etc) and we enjoyed the summer like weather playing outside. We got a new minivan (Vinnie 2 as Abby calls it) after the first vinnie got an "ouchers" (i.e. crashed) and had to, according to Abby, see Dr. Porter (our Peds) and then got new clothes (its a whole new car, but Abby nearly freaked at the idea, so we had to say that the new paint color was new clothes).</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>We took our first trip to the zoo of the season, and while most of the animals were snuggling close to their pens (it was cold!) the leopard was out and in full force. Since its Abby's favorite animal at the zoo, we deemed it a successful trip.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Abby's Mimi and Papa Osterink visited at the end of the month which was lots of fun. We took in the Portland Art Museum on family day, visited the "worm" park in Forest Heights, and generally hung out with Mimi.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>We also made a visit to meet Herman the Sturgeon at the Bonneville Dam and fish hatchery. Abby and her friends saw the fish ladders and fed fish in the ponds, followed by greasy burger goodness at Char-Burger... mmmm....</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Caleigh, for her part, was toted along to all these adventures and maintained her generally mellow demeanor. She waited until just after her Mimi left to start crawling and now she is getting around pretty good. Abby is obsessed with making up funny names for her and the one that has stuck is "Caleigh O'Malley" - so she calls her that all the time. I prefer to call her "stinker" because now that we have started solid foods, boy does she stink!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Now for the pictures:</div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFS2QtZ77DMBRFStiszbHVfktmlCG0SEG_s2AIKw1CNd3XefgpyXjBgx6utENX3yc6chJQCF3Zkiw5Wx3OC0R95WOED6QkbGNlmXCe5cgO2vQJvJgqaG7gh6utkQgcO0bliySji_O8hQay/s1600-h/Pics+-+Jan-May2008+466.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209006702423345074" style="DISPLAY: block;
