Asher and Sydney... friends from school.

Dylan has made a couple of good friends at school - Asher and Sydney. I love seeing them play together.

Playdate PDX.

Good friends. They even have beds next to each other at school.

4th of July BBQ at the Hopkins

A perfect day to Slip N Slide!!! And also have a tea party.

Mimi and Mia... I can tell Mia wants to get up and join the big girls.

Fireworks - the end to a great day!

Annual Beach Trip

The Edwards, DeAinzas, and Whittemores went to Lincoln City this year for the 4th of July weekend. It was a good time with too much food - as usual. I'm hoping this beach trip becomes a tradition.

Dylan - checking out the starfish during low tide.

DeAinza Family - early morning. Whittemore Family - sleeping.

"Look daddy!"

Mia and Mimi. This seems to be Mia's signature color... lots of outfits in this color.

Hanging out in Mia's pack n play. Funny how Dylan won't go in her own but Mia's seems to be just fine. I guess hers in more fun.

Glass blowing. We might have to do this every year too... it was pretty cool.

Rasp Babies!

Dylan calls raspberries - Rasp Babies! Who knew eating them could be so fun!

Congratulations to Courtney on her Graduation!

Celebrating Father's Day and Courtney's graduation from high school. She will be heading to Wellesly in August for college.

Dylan loves her cousin Coco.

Director's Park in June

Sharing her milkshake... She does her fair share of "that's MINE!" but she generally is a great sharer.

Olin and Christian gave Dylan a butterfly garden for her birthday and here she is letting them go! There are 2 here - their wings aren't out so they are hard to see. It was really cool seeing them transform... I think we'll do it again when she's a little older.

Ear protection... very important. We got these for her when she was about 6 months old thinking that maybe she could wear them while we went to the movies. Ummm... that didn't really work out since we wouldn't wear them at all! But she likes them now.

We got this hat in Astoria... so cute!

She loves slides!

And rocks!

Day trip to Astoria that we took in May...

I have been very negligent in posting pictures so I'm catching up today... We took at trip to Astoria with the DeAinzas and here are some pictures from the trip. It was really fun to go back to the place where I grew up... we saw my old house, my dad's office, the park where I used to play, the Astoria Column, my friend's restaurant...
