Our Home Away from Home - Corvallis in the Fall

Our fall has been quite busy. Many weekends since late September/early October have been spent down in Corvallis at my parent's house. Mat wanted to build a 'treasure box' out of oak for all of his treasures. We started off by going to a small town on the way to Bend to select wood. Then we took the wood to my parents house to begin.
After the first weekend and then the second, I decided that I needed my own project to work on, so my mom and I decided to make Penny and Jack fleece coats. They turned out fabulously! (Mat, by the way, has a new idea to add LED lights to them, instead of just the reflective tape...our next project).
The dogs were constant companions, whispering the way to Corvallis in Mat's ear. Ahnook usually sits up front with Mat, but for some weird reason on one trip, he decided to take the back seat with Penny and me. Yes, we finally figured out how to travel all together in my small car, boys up front, girls in back. The is especially helpful because Ahnook is quite territorial and less fighting on the way down = a happier trip for all.
So, below are several shots from our many weekends in fabulous Corvallis in the fall at my parent's house...thanks mom and dad for letting us invade your space for the last few months! No doubt, we will have more projects that will require the use of dad's shop! Love you both very much, and Jack too!
