Willow is so full of life. She has been super loud in the last week or two. Not sure if it's because she's teething again and that tends to ratchet up the volume, or that's just how she is.

And look at her pose....almost crawling! Well, not quite almost crawling, but this is closer than Aspen or Journey ever got to the idea! I have hope that she will crawl :)

Aspen and Journey love playing in the water. Journey especially loves playing in the waves, while Aspen is content in the creeks that run into the ocean.

We had one day of sun this trip and took advantage of it!

Aspen is motivated to practice riding his bike this year, and the beach is a perfect place for him to practice!

I just got a double stroller and am love, love, loving it! I was able to avoid one until now, but Willow's too big (and heavy) for the Bjorn and Journey is just too slow of a walker for us to go anywhere far.


We've spent a lot of time at the beach over the last two weekends. Mark's been fishing (salmon the first weekend, tuna the next), we had a wedding and baby shower, and have enjoyed getting away and checking on the house progress. Aspen got in some good practice on his bike until he had a crash and decided to take a break :) Willow did good the first weekend, but the second one she was pretty crabby. Teething again. Fun times.

I can hardly believe July is already here. This summer is going to fly by.
