Busy Bill

Billy turned 15 months old this month. He's 24.5 lbs, 30" tall, and has 12 teeth. He's keeping busy and having lots of fun...
and so are we!

Summer Fun

We had a very warm week last week, and it inspired us to get a baby pool for Billy to play in. He had a lot of fun, and when warm weather returns he'll be ready to do it again!

We also enjoyed the 4th of July together. We went out to Fort Lewis for their Freedom Fair, and Billy got his first taste of an elephant ear. He rode on Daddy's shoulders most of the afternoon, where he had a great view of the crowd. We came home for a traditional BBQ dinner, with potato salad and watermelon. Billy didn't like any of that after tasting the sugar coated elephant ear at the fair! As for fireworks, we just watched them on TV after Billy was in bed.

Happy Birthday to the USA! And Happy Birthday early to Aunt Ruthie... we love you!!

Our 1st Family Road Trip

I'll call it an overall success! We had a great Father's Day weekend in Spokane, with Grandpa Dwight. We also worked in a quick visit with Brian, Michelle, and Gabby Okken- Billy's uncle, aunt, and cousin! We now know what it's like to travel with children, and I think that we still might do it again someday... hopefully later this summer we can have our 1st Family Vacation!
