Thumbsucker!

We may have a thumbsucker on our hands...he's been doing this a lot lately!

Bainbridge

We took our annual trip to Bainbridge with Papa & Mimi...but I forgot my camera. Jeff snapped this one of me & the kids on the way over with my phone. We picked a beautiful day to be out on the water. We had lunch on the water, I bought my candles and we stopped at the bakery on the walk back to the ferry...who doesn't love traditions?!

Both kids did great! Braden slept in the stroller and the ergo...he started to suck his thumb while sleeping in the ergo too. We'll see if this is a new habit or not!

Braden is 4-months old!

We had Braden's 4-month appointment today! He is looking healthy - 98% for weight, 96% for height and 72% for head circumference. A big boy! Afterwards, we headed to the Kirkland waterfront for lunch! Madeleine stayed home with Mimi and played. She was busy taking walks and having a picnic with Mimi so she didn't miss us :-)

Celebrating the 4th!

We celebrated the 4th over at my parents house this year. It was also Kathryn's 2nd Birthday and my Grandpa's 85th Birthday! The girls played in the pool and had a great time splashing around! The rest of us relaxed and ate way too much food!

Braden with his Grandpas!

Happy 4th of July!

S'mores!

We enjoyed our first backyard bonfire of the summer tonight complete with s'mores! Yum!!!

Papa & Mimi for a visit - 2011

Jeff's family came up for their annual visit and met Braden for the 1st time! Madeleine & Braden really like having Papa & Mimi around to play with! We started their visit off right by grilling up some oysters - welcome back the Northwest Papa & Mimi!
