Leavenworth Fun

The rest of the family joined Paul for his work conference in Leavenworth this June. It was great to get out of the house, live out of just one suitcase, relax by the pool and just have some different scenery. The drive over the mountain pass went well (around three hours or so) and it was really amazing the difference in weather from one side to the other. Leavenworth was dry and hot but had nice cool mornings and evenings.

Saturday

Will made a robot today with his dad.



Jasper is starting to become more familiar with all of the daily routines and the very strange things we do to him on a daily basis. He still doesn't appreciate changing diapers and clothes but he does seem to understand the stroller, sling and carseat which all provide him with a good cheek bouncing and lull to sleep.

Last Day of School

Here is Will with his teacher Elizabeth on the morning of his last day of Children's House. Wow, how time flies! Seems like only yesterday he was visiting his class for the first time.

The Midwife

Jasper had his six week and last appointment with his midwife today. He
is now 12.8 pounds--pretty impressive!

Bathtime

Jasper loves the bath and we're finding that he finds Will fascinating so the combination of the two makes for loads of fun.

Solstice

Here's a clip from the parade:

Jonathan came out to visit for the four day weekend and practically annual tradition of solsticing with us.

Sleepytime

Guitar Season Finale

Today Will and Paul attended a "guitar cafe" where the kids all got a chance to play with an amplifier and enjoy cafe snacks while they listened to each other. It was great to have a chance to listen to the kids play solo. Usually they all play in a group together.

Grandma Withdrawal

We're going through withdrawal around here as our big helper, playmate and friend has gone home.


She took us out to dinner for my 36th birthday and we ate a Flying Apron strawberry maple cake.


It was tricky to fit in the car! My hips barely squeezed into the middle but it was fun to see things from Jasper's perspective.

Birthday Celebration

Will had his sixth birthday celebration this week and his grandma came to help! Here are Jack and Will passing out cantaloupe smiles.

Cheek Update

My cheeks, however cumbersome, provide a good storage place for drool and spit up.

Sometimes my cheeks make it difficult to turn my head but this sweater is a problem too.

Sometimes my cheeks obstruct my vision but check out the size of my plump little fingers!

My cheeks help support my chin folds and keep me warm in this gray weather were having.
