We spent last weekend visiting some close friends in Oregon. Bennett handled her first plane trip like a champ and Asher didn’t have a single accident on the entire cross country journey! We had a really nice low key visit that consisted of blueberry picking, playgrounds, hiking and lots of laughter. They have two kids pretty much the same age and we had so much fun all together. We are so lucky to have such wonderful people in our lives.
We went blueberry picking and no joke, these blueberries were hands down the best blueberries I have ever had! I will be dreaming about those blueberries for the rest of my life. 
Same face!
These two were fast friends and were quite the match for each other!
Heaven! These blueberries have ruined all other blueberries for me.

The Anvari Chronicles: Vafa & Aleah’s Michigan Wedding + Chadwick Cabin
Happy Birthday America!
A couple weeks ago we spent a lovely weekend in Michigan celebrating the union of two dear friends, Vafa and Aleah. This was another BWC reunion wedding and it was such a joy to spend time with our extended framily. My older brother Jared, sister-law Sholeh and niece Lua were there and watching Lua and Asher interact was a definite high light of the trip.
Vafa is one of the last in our group to tie the knot and we couldn’t be more happy with who he has chosen to spend his life with. It is wonderful when your friends marry people who feel like they’ve always been a part of the gang and I just feel so blessed to say that about all the spouses that have joined the gang. Instant family. It’s amazing!
After the wedding we drove up to the Chadwick cabin and spent a few days on Lake Clear Water…or is it Clear Lake…either way, it is aptly named. I have never seen a lake with water so clear, it was literally like looking through glass. The Chadwicks were so warm and welcoming, we definitely felt adopted!
