Princess Ana

We attended a baby shower on Saturday and, can you believe it, Anais was the only baby to show up! Here are a few photos of her in a dress given to us by my Grandma.

MMMMM.....Cheese

Sunday we made an early trip to Seattle and attended the cheese festival. It was a bit of a battle with crowds of cheese hoarders blocking the various booths asking questions about cheeses they didn't really want answered. With a little fast bobbing and weaving I managed to snag a few tastes for the family. The baby was so very happy. She sure loves cheese. We then went to the Pike Brewery and had more cheese with lunch. It was a lovely cheese filled day.

Sand Table

Anais has started her warm weather play with her new sand and water table. (Thank you Opal and Arean). She especially loves pouring the sand into the water and vice versa.

Mother's Day

Today has been the perfect Mother's day. Peter has been working around the house (which he does everyday, but today he has tripled his efforts). Anais and Tucker have been very well behaved. We went on a geocaching and had a nice walk around the lake. I have also had the pleasure of watching Footballers Wives on DVD. Tonight I am going to make my favorite meal--Mac and Cheese. Now this is what Mother's day is all about.

Bar B Q

I'd like to give a shout out to Molly and Matt for an exquisite barbeque feast. The steak was perfectly cooked and the potatoes tender, yet not mushy.

Molly is close to having her only little terror and we wish her a fast and memorable delivery.

Anais is starting to say the long A and I sounds. This is very exciting for her due to the fact that BaBa has had to mean a plethora of words for so long. Unfortunately, she is breaking out all around her mouth and I don't know what to do. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

I'm off to watch a little Big Love.

Last Day at Library Group

Today was bittersweet as we said good to library group for the summer. Peter attended and sang along. He was one of only two fathers in the group of mostly women. (Not a bad deal for him).

After a nice nap, we headed off to a new off leash area and let Tucker run wild. After a little geocaching and watching dogs slobber and sniff, we headed for home. It was a good day.

Poor Tucker

Well, Tucker's old stomache problems made a fierce return on Sunday morning. We woke up to several piles of nasty bodily fluids and such on our carpets. We attempted a few times to direct him to the tile, but apparantly our dog is much too good to throw up on low brow tile. Peter was vigilant and spent a few hours outside with him while he got the bulk of the bad stuff out of his body. I am pleased to report the the piles have all been cleaned and Tucker seems much better. In fact, he is quite pleased to be on his doctor prescribed diet of chicken, cottage cheese, and rice.
