First hike!


 Yesterday we went up to the base if the Cascades for a quick little hike to accomplish a few things. One, just a need to get out. Two, a chance to take Hannah Gray on her first hike where she was never intended to be in the pack (so needed to be a good challenge for her yet completely achieve able) and then finally, to get Sutton out for we first time in the real hiking backpack. An we would say it was a success on all three fronts! :)

We have a laugh!!

Last night Sutton absolutely cracked up at me as I was swaddling her at bedtime. She was starring at me, looking like she was getting ready to talk, then just laughed. It was awesome. I forgot to tell the girls this morning, but Hannah Gray quickly discovered the new development and she just lit up running to find me to tell me she was laughing!! So fun!!!

Blueberry picking!

One thing about the Pacific Northwest is the amazing berries!!! We hit the season early and hope to go again soon. We had some amazing blueberry muffins!

Before and After!

A good friend of mine from when we lived here the first time had a due date about 3 weeks after mine, but our babies arrived just within a week of each other thanks to a very patient Sutton! Here is Kendall and me at her baby shower, I was about 2 days away from my due date.

Hannah Gray’s Baptism

Last week, August 8th, Hannah Gray got baptized in the Puget Sound. It was a great night of bbq-ing with our church family and we had a few close friends join us there as well. It was a great night!!

sister time!

 

We scored a playset for free and after Ethan spent a weekend reinforcing and replacing some boards, it’s ready to go!! Here is a picture of the girls playing in the fort. Come to find out, they had carried their babies, blankets, medical kit and Hannah doggie out there to play midwife because Tenley’s baby Joseph was having a baby… Smile
