Liam and Julia on the walk back from the bluff....much warmer out of the wind. Liam protectively holds his "baby snake".
These two pictures are from yesterday. Liam and I were cutting up plums to dehydrate. We also picked blackberries before this pictures...hence Liam's face :)Thursday, September 25, 2008

More fun with friends
Friends come to visit.
Last weekend, Gabe's old college friend, Mike, his wife Blair, and their three kids came to visit. It was such a beautiful weekend, so we took them down to the Skagit Valley and enjoyed some late summer fun. First, we stopped at Snowgoose Produce for some obscenely large ice cream cones (the adults did our part by "cleaning up the drips"). Here Liam, Elinor (6) and Ruth (3) enjoy their waffle cones.
After our bellies were full of ice cream, we all hiked out to Craft Island in the late afternoon sun. Craft Island is very close to where our parent's live in Mount Vernon. It is one of our favorite hikes, through the wetlands our to the salt water. I have been hiking out there since high school and it still is one of the prettiest spots I know.

I love Auntie Lu!
Auntie Lu came through town on a brief visit, in between a wedding and a medical school rotation. It was great to see her and Liam had so much fun catching her up on all the latest news.
Our other big news from the week is that Liam started at Harmony Preschool this week and had so much fun. It is a very sweet little school just three blocks from our house. He is going there Tuesday and Thursday mornings. It has been fun to walk him to school in the morning and then back home at the end of the day and hear all about his activities. So far, the highlights have been "Snuggles Marshmallow" the bunny (do you think the kids named her???) and the (very large) sand box. Here is a picture of Liam in front of school today when I came to pick him up. "Baby" has been accompanying him to school this week....just for a little extra support.
Yoga
Yesterday, while I was stretching from a run, Liam decided to get out the yoga mats and "practice some yoga". These were three of his postures.

Blackberries!
First of all.....Congratulations Jackie, Eric and Emily!!!! We are so excited for you and can't wait to see pictures of your little guy. Way to go!
Here are a couple of pictures from this afternoon. Liam, Tahoe and I went on a walk around the neighborhood and discovered some great blackberry bushes. This time we were prepared with a container, so Liam came home with quite the haul.

Mutti turns 60!
Liam and Finn
Liam and Finn are exactly nine months apart. This year, for the first time, that gapped hardly seemed to exist. They played well together and kept one another busy with lots of running, playing with sticks, digging in the sand, jumping off of logs....you catch my drift....
Time with cousins
Finn (3) and Ashton (5) and their parents arrived last week, much to our joy and excitement. We headed out to Cypress Island for Labor Day weekend and time on the beach.
