More animal noises

Imogen knows a ton of animal sounds now, including sheep, ducks, cats and monkeys. My current favorite is her imitation of Kenai. Those who know him may recognize his 'get off my front porch' bark.

Talking cat!

Imogen's favorite: Lucy

I'm sure Lucy often regrets our short-sightedness in bringing a baby home.

Girls go to Denver

Imogen and I went to Denver for the weekend under the guise of a work trip but really to meet all of the Denver babies: the college gals and I have delivered 5 kids in the past year alone! It was a perfect fall trip, and Imogen came home starting to take a few steps towards us.

Imogen loved spending time with big boy Colin.


Baby Cameron in his 'office.'


Colin keeps an eye on the game with Brayden and Molly.


Lots of Little Badgers gathered (Imogen, Molly, Colin, Brayden and Cameron).



Someone needs size 24mo. Badger gear :)


But it was a tough loss to Michigan State.

Birthday hike!

On Imogen's actual birthday, we took a family hike to Timothy Lake, on the back side of Mount Hood. It was a beautiful day, and a beautiful hike, made all the more fun by the chance to dip our toes into the lake.
