Boo!


All coming to visit you in Marietta, GA tomorrow!

This past Sunday marked the first time Nora’s been old enough to stay in the nursery
at church with the all the big kids her age. It allowed Lauren and I to enjoy a particularly
good message, too. Watch it here if you’re interested.

All this just after a simple morning nap. Hand as pillow!

Video chats with family are serious business.
Half a year?!?! Are you kidding us? That can’t be right. Spring was a blur, summer has flown by in giggles and cuddles. And here we are! Entering autumn with our awesome little Munchkin Pie.
Josh and I recently went back through this post from a whole year ago. (!) It was so much fun to relive the moments when we got to announce to our family and friends that little Nora was on the way.
Then she was here. Newborn Nora, then at 1 Month

2 Months

3 and 4 Months

5 Months

And ta da! 6 Month Old Nora.

We had a great day with our girl. First we informed her of the day’s significance.
Then we went to the toy store where we learned that Nora is not the least afraid of over-sized dogs, frogs, or leopards. Quite the contrary.

The same structure has a special canal for the fish to swim through as well… it’s a gradual 20 foot incline
for the thousands of salmon that come through each year.

Over the last weekend we spent two afternoons in and around the Chittenden Locks – this amazing structure that allows boats to pass from the Seattle fresh-water lakes to the salt water of the Puget Sound. It’s basically a big water-based elevator for boats of all sizes.
