Bed Head

These photos are from the morning of Oliver's birthday (June 25th). He woke up at 6:30 a.m. excited that it was his birthday and wanted to make his birthday cake. Hence the bed head. When his hair is like that I usually ask him if a cow had been licking his head in the middle of the night. He loves when I ask him that.

Fishing Trip

These photos were taken during a recent group fishing trip. It was just Father and son catching salamanders, trout and salad fish (aka seaweed).

Photographer

Ollie's school is having a Art in the Park Celebration next month and the kids have been busy making artwork and taking photographs. This has been very exciting for Oliver as he and his classmates have been toting around their disposable cameras looking for interesting things to photograph. It looks like little brothers and fruit trees top the list. Hope you enjoy these photos from Oliver.

Lake Oswego Fountains

This past weekend was hot ... very hot. We all got up early Saturday morning to set up my booth at the Lake Oswego Farmers Market. The reward for my helpers was breakfast at Saint Honore Boulangerie where we ate Almond Croissants, Chouquettes, and Mirliton de Rouen. Breakfast was finished with multiple refreshing dashes through the fountains.

I love seeing Ollie give some karate chops to the water

Father's Day Dinner

These photos are from Oliver's Montessorri school. The children made a potato & rosemary soup dinner for all the dads. They also showed the dads some of their favorite activities. I finally put two and two together -- Oliver has been picking rosemary from the bush in front of our house and suggesting that we make potato soup for weeks now.

I love this photo of father & son enjoying dinner that Oliver made!

Sauvie Island Beach

These last few months have been busy and we've really enjoyed having our families show us their support by coming to visit. It meant a lot to us to have them meet Leopold and connect with Oliver more. We are on our own again as I just dropped my mother off at the airport yesterday. I'll miss the help but it will good for me to figure out and develop a routine for the boys.

One of the things I've been meaning to do is post some pictures that have been piling up in our camera. So for the next few days here are some older photos. They're still good though!

This was one of the last beach trips we had before the birth:
