"Apendance Day", sleeping sisters

Here are 3 cute photos from last week. We had a great 4th - Lindsey helped make the cake, and got to stay up late for the fireworks, and Elise crawled and smiled.

Denny Creek hike

Here are some fun photos from a hike yesterday to the Denny Creek water slide, up by Snoqulmie Pass.

Crawling and garden progress

Elise is now crawling - the stairs are gated and we are frantically picking up non-baby-appropriate items from the floor. In the first pic, she is clearly her daddy's girl with the camo hat.

We are really excited about our vegetable garden this year. We've done tomatoes before, with varying levels of success. This year, we should have a really great yield. We have green tomatoes already on 6 of the 8 plants, and some pea pods should be ready in a week or so. The zucchini and pumpkins we planted (1 start each) are threatening to take over their corner of the yard. There are several zucchinis started and at least one pumpkin. Lindsey keeps saying, "Our garden is going nuts!"
