September 2009

A lot of pictures and video to upload...just looking for the time. We had a great summer, and a beautiful fall, which continues well into October with 70's for a high the first few weeks. Now, the rain is setting in.

May 2009 Update

We've had a great month! Grandma Myrna and Grandpa Larry came to visit early in the month. We had a break in the weather and actually got to get outside a bit. Joey did his best to wear out Grandpa Larry by suggesting a new activity every 5 minutes or so. Dad sat back and enjoyed the break. How did I not get a picture of Grandma Myrna holding Luke?! She held him every 10 minutes and I managed to never take a picture!? I'll have to photoshop something...:)

Aunt Sarah and cousin Matthew came to visit in the middle of the month, and Mom and Dad got to go camping with friends while Auntie stayed in Gold Bar to babysit! A long way to come for a babysitting gig! Mom and Dad had a babysitter for the first time in 5 years! Thank you, Sarah!(Joey misses his cousin.)

Aunt Debbie and Grandma Lou will come to visit in early June, and Grandma Carolyn will arrive in late June and enjoy the 4th of July with us!

Today is Joey's last day at Sky Valley Co-op Preschool, so it is one of those milestone days for us. He was tearing up when I left for work saying he didn't want to leave his class and "teacher Cindy". Next year he will be going to Gold Bar Elementary school. I believe it is one of the most picturesque school grounds I've ever seen, surrounded by white peaked mountains and lush greenery. I kinda want to teach there.

A few seconds in Gold Bar.

Look Who's Laughing

Luke is really coming into his own, lately. First and foremost, he adores his brother, and he starts beaming every time he sees or hears Joey. Joey plays the role of older brother wonderfully, and he is so proud and overly-doting to Luke.

We are finally feeling Spring, after a long winter, and are loving every minute of it. Hope your days are getting sunny and warm!

Easter Bunny?

This is the "angry", "wild" animal Joey is afraid of. It always has sort of freaked me out, too, now that I think about it.

Married?

One night, at dinner, Joey nonchalantly says, "I guess I'm getting married at school, tomorrow, so be watching for that."

I grabbed the camera and only got a few seconds of questioning in before the batteries died.

We went clamming near Ocean Shores, Washington...they were delicious!
