Washington Trip

We had some sweet digs set up for us in Olympia, thanks to Erin! Levi claimed this classy chair by the windows his own.

After Olympia we trekked to the dry side of the Cascades where we crashed in style again with Chris and Tracey. Emily and Evelyn got along swimmingly and shared big sister secrets.




After Chris put in an early morning at the school, we all took a hike around Echo Ridge (though at times not all of us were hiking!)





Here's the full Americorps reunion photo. Picture Betsy, Jon and Ivy in there, too!


Evelyn and Emily make some noise with Becket!

Art is Fun...

At the beach Levi stripped down and just laid around with his pals.


Evelyn became enamored with Adam's cat (called "Cat") and Levi became enamored with Kellen.

Time to Roll!

Lobster Feed

What day of marine-devouring revelry would be complete without a loving hug from cousin Iris. It's all here!

Cute but Crazy

Going for the "I'm-pretty-because-I'm-in-pink" look, Evelyn poses for the camera. Little does she know that her inner crazy is starting to peek through!

On the Lawn

YogaPile

Okay, this one needs some explaining. Hallie was doing "Mom & Baby Yoga" on the floor, so Evelyn joined in. The three of them worked out lots of muscle groups, though not at the same time.

Some Fun on the Floor

Sibling Love?

Cute picture, right? SO why is Evelyn wrenching Levi's ear off?

Is she almost 4, or almost 10?

Here's a nice shot I snapped of Evelyn hanging out by the rock wall. She looks so grown up!

Mr. Enormous Bear at Three

Here he was with Evelyn back in February of '06...

...and three and a half years later.

Cover Girl and Lawn Boy

We're not trying to program our boy to be the societal construct of a "man" and our girl to be too "girlie". Honest. Wednesday night just happened to work out that way.
