Portland/Seattle trip

Pics from our Portland/Seattle trip. It was kind of a whirlwind so we didn't get too many pics. The bulk of the pics are from the very fun Children's Museum in Portland, and a few from the Rose Garden, and then a few cousin pics in Seattle. We also did Portland shopping, the International District in Seattle, and the Issaquah Cougar Mountain Zoo, but those will all have to remain undocumented! We also enjoyed some yummy ethnic food -- Thai and Indian buffet in Portland and Chinese in Seattle -- as well as cooked some salmon from Jon's fishing trip. When we got home, we made sushi with the rest of the salmon. Yum!

Eva birthday and prior pics

Pics from the last month or so, including Peter at 10 month and Eva's birthday. There are some duplicates if you've seen pics on FB, but I wanted them all in one place! I'm not sure why Photobucket put them in reverse order, you'll just have to think nonlinearly when you view them.

Peter Eight Months

Pics of Peter at eight months although he got a bad cold after our VBS volunteering week and was down for a few days! But he's cheerful again and on the mend, although last night he went to bed at 2:40 in the afternoon and didn't wake up until 5:50 the next morning. At all! So...I guess he's in need of some extra sleep. He's also been enjoying a lot of table and finger foods...

Also, Eva playing around in the yard and trying a new inflatable kayak option with Daddy, although we are still deciding future kayak plans that might not include the particular one.

new carnival pics

I've added new carnival pics from my phone to the album in the previous post. I thought it was best to keep them all together.

Also, a video of Eva and Molly on their "big girl" fair ride, the Demolition Derby:

Then, Eva's mash-up song. The lyrics seem to go from Snow Patrol's "please just save me from this darkness," her favorite pop lyric, to her favorite line of Sunday School theology and then hot-weather fluid intake recommendations. You get it all with this one!

Peter Seven Months and Cousins Visit

Some pics from the last month and then the cousins' visit.

Peter Six-Month Pics

Some belated pics from Peter at six months old and a few pics with Grandma. We kept her busy so we didn't get too many photos -- and Peter was a stinker for the first few days!
