Ella on the fish ladder

Here is Ella watching the salmon in the fish ladder at the Chittendon Locks in Seattle.

OMG

Can you imagine a more teenage pose than this? Oh boy! We're in for it! And by the way, her miniskirt (which shows her diaper, of course) is my fleece neckwarmer. What a character!

He's crawling!!

Ok, so maybe it's technically proto-crawling, because he is not really getting his belly off the ground, but he is getting his knees under him and propelling himself forward. He can cover a fair amount of ground, so we have to be careful about turning our backs!

Sweet, eh?

Sunshine

Liam has been so cheery lately. He just loves looking up at faces and smiling. What a fun guy to be around!

Ironfans again

We had a great weekend up in the Adirondacks for our seventh consecutive Ironman. Uncle David completed the race in an incredible 9 hrs and 50 mins. We were very impressed and very glad to be there to cheer him on, though you don't get to do too much cheering with a three-year-old and a five-month-old - they keep you busy!! But good weather and fun, helpful, loving family makes it all work.
