Hi there

Can one sock talk to another sock? Hi there sock. - Bryce
I thought cars talking to each other was bad enough.

Long days start at 5 am.

Between the sweet moments when the baby is cooing and Bryce is cracking me up, there is a lot of boring bodily fluids. Bryce would rather pee on the floor than in the toilet even while sitting on the toilet. Quin eats all the time. Being at the pass with two isn't what it used to be and there is constantly business that needs to be done in Yakima. Bryce loves being outside, but has decided he does not want to walk very far. That leaves us staying in stroller distance of the house. And translates to walking the John Wayne trail to a large puddle to through rocks until I am so bored I can't stand it. And when we leave it ends in disaster. Our last visit to the library ended with me dragging Bryce out kicking and screaming only to get to the car and not have my keys. We anxiously await Damon's return so we are free to hike because there is a second backpack or a second set of hands. Quin's ready to eat.

Happy birthday Baby Ethel

KC and Laurel brought baby Ethel into our lives 1 year ago. We are so lucky to have such a mellow, forgiving niece and cousin in our lives. Of course no picture of all the festivities. Bryce reports the birthday cake was his favorite part. You wouldn't have known it by how excited he was during the happy birthday part. And I learned how hard it is to do anything with two kids. Fortunately for me I had mom and dad plus aunt sandy's help. I don't know how single parents do it.

Welcome Quin

Welcome Quin. We can't imagine life without you. Thank you for being the perfect second child and being ready for anything. I am amazed at the difference in how a second child is cared for. Bryce will be happy to talk your ear off and is already asking when you will talk back. I can't wait for Quin to start playing talking cars.

Bryce's Tail

Bryce got a tail today. He showed it to Tarn. Then he wanted to make a tail for his airplane. He has been napping for 3 hours with his tail on.
