Auntie Mellie and I had a great stay at the Dishman's house in P-town. My Gyrotonic (R) Training went well because of the help of many. We love our Mellie. Some nights...well many nights she and I uncharacteristically ate burgers. Eden fed most of her food to Caddis and Nalu, her new found dog friends. Eden also began her love afair with stairs which she climbed as we care givers hovered abover her about a dozen times per day.

Sera, Caddis and Nalu respectively. Eden rode the two latter like ponies and they kissed her every day.

Uncle D. was in Seattle the majority of our visit...a smart guy for getting further edumacated at UW (of course here the vernacular is "U Dub") & also for vacating an estrogen-dominated house. Our hosts were kind and liberal with a total of 4 different friends, a dog and a daddy arriving during at various points during our stay.

Sean and Eden were cozy as can be on his favorite couch nested in his family's cabin on Hebgen Lake, MT. It was a monumental time for all. Mike & Jill (our patriarchs), Tim & Denise (our brother and sister) with a little bun in the oven, and Amy (Sister) with her girls, Sage and Kai all had a nice time together.

Eden and I cleaned some cabins at the Lodge at Palisades Creek where we were guests for nearly a week. Swan Valley, Idaho.

Ah, what a beautiful day this was in Hood River, Oregon on my birthday, September 11th. We had been away from our Seattle home for a month and this is where we wrapped our journey. Our beautiful friends, Meaghan and Damon got married at the Hood River B&B the following day. Eden & her Daddy finally got some good water time in together. She has no fear!

The newly weds, Meaghan and Damon. We hope they have lots of babies so we can all enjoy our young ones as they play together.
