Dinner time!

Tonight it was spinach, yams and chicken (a first).

Yum!

Grandpa comes to visit

Grandpa came for a long weekend. We had beautiful weather and made our first trip to the Zoo, the Farmer's Market and the aerial tram.






Grandpa was very into the ipad and played tunes for me at breakfast.



Imogen is getting very good at feeding herself, which pleases her immensely.



Thank you for the onesie, Shiela!




On the aerial tram to OHSU (where Imogen was born!).



Now that the weather is warm, we're trying to have most bottles on the front porch.



Grandpa let Imogen play with his face much of the weekend.



I was able to take my Dad on my favorite Columbia River Gorge hike.



And he was able to help distract Imogen from teething pain on Sunday afternoon.

Memorial Day

We went to Chicago for Memorial Day and saw tons of family... so much so that we have almost no pics from the trip. While I wait for folks to email me pics, here are a few we did get.





Carmen's Pizza!





With Auntie Katie



With second cousin Dalia and her mom (first cousin once removed) Bria




Here's Imogen at the Tot Lot I remember playing at when I was a kid!




Finally, two pics taken at Granny's Memorial Brunch.
The Newells!


And all of Granny's grandchildren.

Summer!

Summer is off to a great start, with a trip to Chicago over Memorial Day and a visit from Grandpa last weekend. More pics to come!

Mobile!

Imogen is moving from the Infant classroom to the Mobiles tomorrow. Think she's ready?





And, welcome home, Aunt Emma!

Spring is here!

It was warm and sunny last Sunday, so we decided to hang out on the deck for the first time since last summer, when Imogen was obviously much smaller! For comparison's sake...

Imogen and Kenai on the deck then:





Imogen and Kenai on the deck now:

I see you!

Happy Easter!

This week

A few pics from the week, and a jam session at the end.


With Aunt Emma the morning she left. Thanks again for visiting, even if our parting gift was a terrible cold!

Demonstrating that only the select few outfits are accented by black socks with white stripes.

Lending a hand...

Washcloths rule!

Aunt Emma is here for the weekend and captured this great shot in the bathtub tonight.

Neskowin!

We spent the weekend at our favorite spot on the Oregon Coast, Neskowin. It's a sleepy town with a great beach. It's the Burkart's favorite too, and Jen, Thatcher and Wyatt joined us. We ate, the kids played, it only hailed twice and we were treated to several adult and juvenile bald eagles on the beach in front of the house early Sunday. Can't wait to do it again!
