Family Reunion

We had a fun family reunion in Cle Elum, WA two weeks ago. Alex and Julia had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa Felton and Mommy's Aunts and Uncles. They also had a great time in the bath last weekend.

Julia is 1!

Today is Julia's first birthday. Here she is ready for school with Dad. She hasn't felt well this week, but she is tough and still gives a few smiles.

Lake Superior

We had an exciting trip to the north shore of Lake Superior with Grandpa Stewart, Grandma Jane, and Grandma Brady. Alex and Julia particularly liked playing with the rocks on the beach, the stars, and the campfire. Julia also got really good at walking. She can walk on her own for a few steps but then she gets too excited and loses her balance. We celebrated her 1st birthday on Saturday. She didn't quite understand the candle but she liked the pie and the nice presents. Alex said his favorite part of the trip was baking a cake with grandpa.











Here is a slideshow of the Lake Superior pictures and a few more.

Labor Day

Alex and Julia had a good time on labor day despite some rain. They went to the kid's museum, went to the state fair in Monroe, did a marshmallow roast in the back yard, and went swimming. Alex liked making flour from wheat at the fair and all the animals. Julia liked the sheep and everyone saying "baaah!".

Julia is getting very good at talking. We are still not declaring a first word yet, but she regularly says "Mamama" "Dadadada" and "Ahyah" for Alex.
