Home again

We spent the last week at a family reunion (aka "Camp Martha 2008") in the San Juan Islands off the Washington coast. Here's a selection of photos. More are avaiable at the end of the July Picasa album.

Abigail "driving" the ferry to Friday Harbor


Anna and Abigail had so much fun playing together!

We returned to the spot where Aaron proposed in November 2000 for a family photo. My, how things have changed in 7 years!

Joelle started walking

A couple days ago, Joelle took her first series of "real" steps - intentional, controlled, and purposeful steps. She took about 6 steps once, then 4-5 steps multiple times that night. Sorry we kept all the fun to ourselves. I was so caught up in the fun of watching her, I didn't get the camera involved soon enough to capture the moment. By the time I got around to video-taping, she was worn out from all the excitement. All she had left to share with you was this:

Better late than never...

Auntie Kendra and Uncle Jeremy came for a visit late in June, but we neglected to take any photos of them with our camera. Today they emailed me some photos from the trip, so I thought I'd show you all their gorgeous smiles and tell you we had a wonderful time during their visit.

Yes, there's still more

For those of you who are not overwhelmed by the 5 posts that I added and 2 that I fixed (4th of july, and zoo) today, there are still a few more pictures to be seen in the July Picasa Web Album.

And don't miss the videos in the July Video album.

Also see the Eliana's Head album for detailed captions about that.

Countdown Calendar

Abigail and I have also been doing some projects together. Today we made a calendar counting down until the day we leave for our family reunion. We learned about days of the week, counting, and recognizing numerals. Then, we glued on pictures about our trip.
