Iain helped me make and frost some Christmas cookies--which he thoroughly enjoyed, but I think his favorite part is eating them. Smart kid, don't you think?

Believe it or not, there was one day when Iain switched things up and instead of playing fire fighter he decided to play ski patrol. It only lasted a day; he's back to being a fire fighter so I'm glad I got pictures.

"Hey Dad, what did you do with all the gold that's supposed to be in this box?"

On Saturday we went to Dworshak Dam to go boating with our friends the McFarlands.

Here we are waiting on the dock. Iain insisted on wearing his goggles even when he wasn't in the water.

Just another picture of Iain waiting. He's so darn cute in his goggles.

Iain watched as we pulled away from the dock and let the rope out for the tube. That's the McFarlands' son, Duke, in the tube.

Now it's Iain and my turn. We were going over the hand signals before we got started.



Here we are all windblown after our ride.

And then, of course, Iain got to drive the boat with Dad, while Joanna and I rode in the tube. He was a pretty good driver.

Yesterday Iain rode his bike to Auntie Jean's and back--a little over half a mile round trip. Today he was a bike riding fool at rode his bike all the way to Grandma Carol's house and back for a trip of about one and a half miles. And he's getting fast too. Pretty soon I'm going to be jogging to keep up with him. I'll try to get a video of him later to post so you can see how good he's getting at it.

Just a couple of pictures of Iain being his cute self.


I came in the living room one morning and found Iain setting up the trains for "Ticket to Ride." I wonder what he would do with "Memoir '44."


Iain has always enjoyed bath time, but he likes it even more now that he has a pair of swim goggles.

Iain was having a bit of difficulty blowing bubbles until he experimented and came up with his own technique.

Geoff brought home a longer hose for his dust collector in the workshop, but to Iain, it was the best toy ever. Here he is playing his "bagpipes" for you.

Iain had a great time hunting for Easter eggs yesterday. He managed to find all 20 of them with just a bit of help.

This Saturday I got out the lights and talked Iain into posing for some portraits. He chose all his outfits and what he posed with. Take a look through the photos and see which ones you like. I can email you the file so you can get your own prints in the sizes you want, or you can let me know and I can get prints for you.
