West Coast -- Welcoming Baby Ren

Wednesday we got mobilized from Sara and Noah's house and headed back up to Portland. We had gotten a text that baby Ren had been born. We were not originally planning to stop in Portland on our way through, but couldn't pass up the opportunity to meet the brand new family member. We spend a lovely hour or so with Shelley and Brandon again, hearing the birth story and holding that precious little guy. Then we were on our way to Walla Walla. We made it to Ralph and Astri's by evening.
