It's been a long summer

Anders turned 2, Elliot and Dorrinda got married, Jamie and Brian got married, Tara got busy gestating a baby and we got a couple of photos of it all...





Papa Bill, Anders, Granma, Dad on a trip to the Richland.



Dad and Anders digging holes in the sand at the beach.



Anders made small talk with a stranger by the giant Japanese Spider Crab at the Oregon Coast Aquarium.



There was the occasional Popsicle...



And watermelon.



We made a couple of trips to Nana and Papa's where Anders enjoyed Papa's chair immensely.



And played in the sprinkler



We played some soccer...



And rooted on Dad's Hockey team.




Anders learned to use the potty.





We made a couple of trips to the Zoo.



And a trip to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry)





We made a trip to Richland for Grannma's birthday and had a party at Uncle Ladd and Aunt Cara's house.




All in all...



It was a pretty good summer.

Unexcused absence

It's been many moons since the last post and while we've been building our elaborate alibi, it's proved more exhausting than just coming out and saying we've been incredibly lazy. Sorry.

On the good news shore, we've got a new camera and a plethora of new photos to share. I'll include a smattering here and hopefully more in the days and weeks to come.
