Evelyn

Happy

Moving


Playing

Eating anything she can pick up with her fingers.
Crawling around looking for treasures that the vacuum might have missed.
Sleeping through the night.
Enjoys swimming in a (warm-ish) pool.
20 lb. 5 oz.
An angel of a baby!

us

once,
He was he and I was just me,
on a blind date we came to be...
today,
we celebrate the anniversary,
of the day the you and i became WE
eternally

I love you...

happy campers

The second weekend of July we decided to go camping as a family.
We hadn't gone camping all together since Stella was a baby.
I hadn't been to Ohanapecosh since 2000.
Nana and Papa came along too.
We walked to Grove of the Patriarchs, and played in the water along the way.

The kids fished in the river, just below our camp site.
Stella even caught a little fish--perhaps the only one in the river...


Dad helped them climb down and explore some streams and rocks.

Evelyn enjoyed most of the weekend either in the Moby wrap or the Kelty.

A good time was had by all! I think a return trip is in order...

The beautiful view.

In my eyes the most beautiful view--
my sweet kids...
