8 Months with Oliver

Aiden and Oliver got some play time with their buddies!

These two have so much fun together. They're wild!

We've been picking lots of blackberries. We made blackberry syrup for our ice cream with our latest batch and of course we sampled as we picked. 

Oliver does not want to be held, but Aiden will not be deterred.

Baby snuggles!

During National Night Out, we hd our annual neighborhood cookout. There was a police car, fire truck, glitter tattoos and a bounce house.

I tried to duplicate a picture I took of Aiden around the same age.

Getting in a much swimming as we can before the pool closes.

Andrew had a second round of sinus surgery this month to hopefully end a string of never-ending sinus infections.

Soccer Shots

Aiden attends soccer practice every Monday at daycare through Soccer Shots. It's convenient that they do it at school so we don't have to commit our weekends. Also I don't think Aiden would do as well if we were there watching. But they offered a free Saturday class one weekend and we went. It was fun to see and it was all the coaches he already knew.

Carkeek Park with Friends

We enjoyed an impromptu park BBQ with friends. 

"Tom, why are you not on that plane to China?!"

We watched Seattleites practice cracking their whips in the sunset... only here. 

It's Official... Congrats Dr. Sarah Marie!

We ventured down to Portland this weekend to celebrate Sarah's graduation. She had a small rooftop party at their apartment building.

 

"Tobin, what does it all mean?"

We stayed in an adorable, very kid friendly, rental house with chickens. 

 We brunched, played at the park, sipped cocoa, and wandered on some island farm property.

 

Sorry "someone" spilled your coffee Andrew.

 Then we took the scenic route home (to avoid traffic).
