Summer 08

Wow, what a busy summer we've had! We went to a couple family reunions and 1 class reunion. A mariners game and a brewery in Puyallup. We threw a surprise party for "Auntie" Liz and got to eat ice cream cake!! We also went to the closing ceremony for the 3-day breast cancer walk. Grandma Debbie walked a whole 60 miles with cousin Carrie. We are so proud of them! The ceremony was so moving and emotional. There was 3200 walkers and they raised 8.6 million dollars!!!

Lydia's vocabulary is growing every day...this is what she's saying these days
mama
dada
nana
papa
puppy
bubble
thank you(gan goo)
please
no
uh oh
yay
apple
addy(ah ha)
and more....

She's walking all over the place and starting to gain speed! She's fascinated with bathrooms now and it's a job keeping her out of them! Uncle Jason and Aunt Heather got her a Dora bike that she just LOVES...in fact she's sitting on it now watching a show! It makes all kinds of noises and sounds and songs! We can't wait to buy Keegan a drumset!!!
