Mom and Grandma sure know how to let loose! Double-click on the picture for a better close-up.

Portland Weekend

We took the train to Portland for a fun weekend with the R family ladies. Four generations were represented, and a good time was had by all.

Despite significant misinformation on our public transportation options, the four of us and Evan arrived at the Rose Garden in Portland's Washington Park. The beautiful roses with their wonderful aroma, and the fun we had getting there, were worth it.

Making wishes with Grandma.
Stopping to smell the roses with Liz, who was very, very good to me and let me climb all over her lap on a no-nap day. I call her Emily Elizabeth (from the Clifford series for those of you who don't have toddlers).

Sitting

Although I've only rolled over once (on May 13), I graduated to sitting yesterday! That rolling over stuff is probably overrated.

We're so happy that it's summer time!

Don't try this at home, kids! Only Grandpa would think it was a fun idea to teach me how to rock climb on the refrigerator. So far I am doing a great job following the rule that I am not supposed to attempt this at home. So far.

Elsa is a fun older cousin.

No time for clothes! There's too much to do out here!

Hanging out with Uncle Joe.

Cousins getting along.
Oh, how our mothers love it!

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!

5 Months Old...

...And oh so cute!

Finally Summer!

Summer finally arrived. We welcomed it with open arms. Ahhhh water table... I missed you!

Checking out the bugs on the trail to the water.
After lunch we explored the tidepools and found crabs, sqid, eels, and starfish. This is the life!

There's a Wocket in my Pocket

There's a jertain in the curtain.

There's a zamp in the lamp.

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Our New Sandbox

No time for pictures! We are playing in my new sandbox. Grandpa did a great job making this for us! We're breaking it in for Nathan.

This is fun!

What we do with visitors

While the five of us relaxed and played, we put Grandpa to work!
