July 4th
We love three day weekends! Especially when the weather is nice. In the morning we wanted to get a flight in to keep both boys familiar with flying in preparation for a longer trip later this summer. We ended up flying to Friday Harbor where we arrived just after the parade ended, but in time…

Alki Beach
We took the Sadliers up on the offer to join them at the beach today. With the extra hands of having Amanda, George and George’s mom, Pat, there the adult to kid ratio was 4:3. This was such a fun day, but also a humbling reminder that the beach with a toddler and nursing infant…

Relaxing in Flight
Cooper is really starting to relax more during our airplane trips. We took advantage of Rob working from home to head out this afternoon for another quick family flight. Today he was looking out the window instead of having his head pressed against the back of the car seat. We even got him to sing…

Strawberries
Cooper is really enjoying picking berries from our yard. He continues to repeat, no matter where we are at park, friends house, etc., “don’t eat blueberries” since we have to keep reminding him that they are not ripe yet. It is really funny to see people’s reaction since his comment is completely out of context,…

Special Visitors
We were so lucky to have some very special visitors come to visit today. Daddy’s Aunt Donna and Uncle Charlie flew in to Seattle to visit before starting their Alaska cruise. Unfortunately, we forgot to capture a picture of everyone, but as you can see from the picture Cooper was happy to provide the entertainment…

Banana Bread
Each morning that Nicholas doesn’t come in to his room with me Cooper instantly starts asking for him wanting to give him a kiss. This morning Cooper jumped at the chance to get into Nicholas’ crib for morning snuggles. While still in their jammies Nana and Cooper made some yummy banana bread together. Cooper definitely didn’t get the desire…
