I stole this video from a fellow adoptive moms blog. It's amazing how many beautiful children there are in need of a loving family. It's so sad all of these kids have to grow up with out a mom or a dad.

Snacktime!
This is how we do snacktime in Oregon. We run out to the back field and eat blueberries and blackberries. (If Taylor is ever missing for more than a few seconds we can always find her out by the blueberries)
10 months old!
I can't believe our little guy is 10 months old! He has three words-dog, mama, and ball. He's standing on his own for a few seconds at a time and cruising around the furniture like crazy. He's a great sleeper, about 5 hours during the day and 12 hours at night. He eats just about everything and drinks 3 bottles a day. Overall he's a very happy baby, loves to laugh and loves his big sisters. We love you Coby!!

The county fair
You want me to pet this thing?
Taylor and Grandpa
Cool baby Chloe
Chloe what are you eating?!???!?!
This is what a 1st prize pig looks like
Coby checking him out from his stroller
Taylor petting a turtle
Chloe really wanted to ride the carousel, but then she got a little scared

Hanging out with Aunt Anna
One big bonus of moving to Portland is that we'll have Aunt Anna close by. She's going to come visit us often, right Anna?

The plane ride home
Mommy made me wear socks on my hands at the airport.
Just chillin' in the airport
Ready for take off!
The baby who would NOT fall asleep
and finally....
An update:
We are slowing adjusting to life here on the West Coast. The babies are almost back to normal and back on a schedule for the most part. Coby is happy as ever, sleeping and eating like a champ and loving the extra attention. I'm keeping the girls away from everyone except for family for a few weeks to help them adjust. No visitors allowed at my parents house. :) We do go out a little, and they seem to be fine with that. What really upsets them is when new people talk to them, they don't seem to mind the crowds too much. Staying home alot has really been helping Chloe. She got really overwhelmed with all of the chaos and people visiting before we left and was starting to do things like close her eyes and hide her face when we were out in public because she didn't want to see anyone. It was really sad to see our little social butterfly this way, but I think she just got really confused. The last time the girls had a huge change like this in their lives was when we left Vietnam, their first home. I think it brought back a few of the feelings, even though they were so young when they came home. We had our first big outing today, to the county fair. They both did very well, it helped that there were TONS of farm animals to pet. (pictures coming soon). I wish they were old enough to talk to me and tell me what they were thinking, but it's all a mystery! Jake and I are starting to shop for houses this weekend. We've got a ton of open houses to check out in Portland. Hopefully we'll find something good!
