Finally!

A New Camera!  I waited until the sun started shining again to buy a new camera.  I think it was worth the wait. 

Our little guy is almost 8 months old now...  Here he is enjoying some sun and his new hat.

Big sister is also enjoying the sunshine!  She came out ready to garden and was proud of it.  Just a few more weeks of school until summer vacation.

A matchy matchy Mother's Day!  Purely coincidental.  This was probably Johnny's third outfit of the morning...  They were both telling me to hurry up and take the picture already!  Geez, Mom! 

The Syttende Mai (a day to celebrate all things Norwegian) Parade was this past week in downtown Ballard.  And seeing as we're all (ok, maybe not Granny or Greg!) Norwegian we made the trek to the parade route.  I like this particular picture as it captures the disgust on Pops' face as the other two make their silly faces. :)   Two peas in a pod. 

 Handsome parade watchers!

 Yay Norway!

Too much parade??

6 Months! (One day early, otherwise I'll forget...)

Happy 6 Months to our little guy tomorrow! He gets cuter and cuter by the minute and we are loving every one of those minutes that we have with him. He has brought tremendous joy, love and laughter to our lives. Hope these pictures bring you a little bit of that joy, love and laughter. Hugs from us.

Back to Work

Tomorrow is the day..., after more than four wonderful months at home. I am sure going to miss my little baby, a relaxing cup of coffee with wonderful folks most mornings, picking Bernie up from preschool every day, sleeping in sometimes, and not knowing or caring what day it is.

Most of all though, I am going to miss my little baby.





The Crew...


A beautiful February evening at the beach!

A Good Laugh

Bernie's new camera sure is fun!




And a happy four months (yesterday) to Baby Brother!

Remember This?

SAME BUMBO...


NEW KID!

Gettin' Noisy Around Here

On Her Way...

On her way...

To the best day ever!


She has only seen it oh, about 300 times. Nothing quite like seeing it on the big screen though!

Smiling, Happy Faces

Baby Talk

Eight Is Great!

Happy Anniversary to Us!

3/4 of us celebrated with a mini vacation downtown at the very cool Pan Pacific. You can kind of understand how our room was going for $3,000 the night before...



The birthday fairies were good to me too. ;)
