Safe!

Here is the game Aunty Rachel and Daddy taught Art on the trip.

At the Cabin

Walking!

About a week and a half ago (on Sunday) Arthur started really getting into walking.  Here are two videos -- one from last week and one from this evening.

From last week:

Some Smoky Family Pictures

I got behind on posting these last few weeks. But I am scheduling a bunch of posts for this week with pictures from the Smokys Trip.

Here are some family photos.

Rain delay

Hoping the Braves will beat the Twins. Exploring after a rogue storm stopped the game.

Party Planning

Grandma Pat and Aunt Sarah did a great job styling up the place for Arthur's party.

Birthday!

Thanks to all the family who joined us for Art's big day.  It meant so much to us to have you with us!

The Pacific

At the end of a long Seattle day, we stopped by the beach.  It was chilly, so we didn't stay too long, but Arthur enjoyed the chance to get out of the car, and stretch his legs on the beach.  He also got his little feet wet in the Sound. He didn't really want to leave the beach, but he got to swing at the nearby playground right after this, and that made it better.

Our Little Helper

This morning Arthur decided to help with the laundry.  This made his mom cry.

Ballard Locks

Here is Arthur hanging out with Dad and grandma at the Ballard locks in Seattle.  There weren't many fish in the fish ladder, but we got to see a bunch of boats come up from the sound to the lake through the locks.
