For the Grandmamas.

This little outfit reads "If you think I'm cute, you should see my Grandmama." Guess you found this for us :)

Saying goodbye.

We sold it. Eddie's dream Airstream Trailer. A gentlemen from the Washington coast came the other day, looked at it, wrote us a big check, and drove the trailer away. We will miss it, but I promised Eddie he could buy another again someday.

Birthday boy....

Edward turned 30 yesterday! We had a barbecue to celebrate. I made a tikka masala chicken and veggies in coconut sauce. My mother brought curry lentils. It was all served with rice and naan bread. I thought it turned out grand. Eddie's friends came over and brought funny cards and some thoughtful gifts. We celebrated with Guinness and Champagne till late in the evening. What a lovely night. I love my old man.

Spring time

William and I have been enjoying the sun the last few days. Its been in the mid seventies and it feels lovely.
William loves to eat grass and chew on sticks. He is a natural tough boy.

Fussy boy

William is trying so hard to crawl. He gets frustrated after a while when he just can't seem to move as fast as he wants to.

Another week

We finally bought William a booster seat. We looked at high chairs but decided we just did not have the room. So now he is a big boy, strapped to a real chair eating with the grownups. He loves it.
William is working on getting another tooth. I have tried many times to get a good photo of his new tooth but he always sticks his tongue over it. One of these days I will get a picture of them so you all can see his toothy smile.
Eddie is leaving again on Wednesday for survey. It is nice he finally has more work, but I do miss him when he is away. And for some reason, William always gets off schedule. Last week after Eddie left, William would not let any men hold him. He cried when my brother Daniel tried and he usually loves Uncle Daniel. Guess he just missed his daddy.




Bath time with Dad.

Wednesday

This morning at 3am Eddie left for survey. He and Jon are driving to rainy Seattle. They will return Friday night if all goes well.
Last night, like most nights, Eddie got William ready for bed and read to him. William loves it when his daddy reads. He gets so excited he starts panting and wiggling uncontrollably. I love watching them together.
The picture below is him waking up. He looks just like his father does in the mornings.....grumpy.

April Showers brings snow...

It's cold outside. We had snow showers this week. Nine inches of snow is in the forecast. I am not surprised since I just took my studs off the car and I almost gave in to planting flowers in my front flower bed. It is good I am a procrastinator and had not gotten around to it yet. Gardening will have to wait till spring.
William had a big week this week. He got his first tooth and went to Moscow Building Supply with his father for the first time. What a little trooper.

This is a video of Aunt Laura trying to juggle and William sitting there laughing at her.
