lots of visitors and aventures = lots of pictures

We have had a nearly constant stream of visitors lately. It has been really fun to see many friends and family members. Thanks for coming to see us, everyone! We've had a blast. Here's a couple of fun pictures/videos from the last couple of weeks:

Cousin Zel found a new use for the exersaucer. Who knew that the seat could turn into a Jabba-the-Hut-cum-farm-animals costume?

Sam asleep during our hike to Franklin Falls. This kid still isn't adhering to our lectures on nature appreciation.

My favorite thing about this hike was not the falls, but the clear water in the river. It was so pretty.

Sam and Norah chillin' on the balcony banister. We could tell that they both loved being around a small person that was their same size.

Sam is starting to walk around more. He still likes to hold onto things for support, but he's getting more confident at letting go. We were able to film a little bit of some walking practice.


This is a rather dark clip, but I wanted to show that Sam is a pro at going down stairs. He likes to zoom down on his tummy - as fast as he can go!

That walking clip is so cute! I love the phase when they are still falling into your arms.

We call grandpa "pa pa", too!

So fun to see Scott with his grand kids! Annette too! Where is Franklin Falls?

Becky - Franklin Falls is a really fun (albeit short) hike that's just east of North Bend. It's by the Denny Creek campground, just off of the I-90 (exit 47). It's an easy hike that's only a mile long.

Krystal - It is fun to have Sam falling into our arms. I love his outstretched arms too.
