In our house - all the way!

To everyone wondering how long we were going to live in our tiny apartment - we are now officially living in our house! My Momma and Dad worked hard to empty out and clean the apartment, and handed in the keys today. We have been sleeping in our house now for almost a week. Our furniture doesn't arrive until next week, but it is WAY more fun to "camp" in our own house than it was at the apartment.
My Momma and Dad are busy priming the bedrooms right now, and their friends Dawn and Andy helped cut down some scraggly little pines and bushes in the back, leaving the big trees standing of course.

This is our house!

And here I am playing at the playground in Ellensburg... these next few pictures are more than a month old, but we thought we would share them with you! Thanks Dawn for burning us the CD Rom!

Dad and I got creative with play-dough at Dawn and Andy's house! Dad made dinosaurs, and I made salad for them out of green dough.

Here are the very dangerous fruits of our labor! Watch out! They will bite you! Then you will have to go to the store and buy a new finger! (Yes, I said that)

And here I am, hanging out in my nighty...

Ok, those few pictures should hold the me-addicts over for a little while, until I have time to pester my Momma to put up a more substantial blog post...

Coffee bean in my nose and other fun

Ahhhhh... yet again, much time has passed since the last blog post. In the meantime my Momma and Dad have bought a house, which we are moving into tomorrow! We also visited my Great Grampa and Grandma's house in Sequim, where we stayed with my Great Aunty Linda, and got to visit with Grampa and my Aunt Kirsti, too. What else have I been up to? Nothing out of the ordinary, really... you know, sticking a coffee bean up my nose, blowing bubbles in Grampa's dog's water dish, attempting to clear off Aunty Linda's shelves, that sort of thing. After all, I am a BOY!

Throwing rocks into the ocean was great fun. My great Grampa convinced my Mom to let me wade in the COLD water. I enjoyed hopping up and down in the waves a bit more than my Momma did, I think.

I like my Grampa.

Every few weeks I get to go to the Barber shop. I sit still wonderfully for the barber (which I don't do when my Momma tries to cut my hair), making the screaming, squirming kid on the other side of the room look bad.

Now THIS is fun! I got to play in the fountain on the WSU Vancouver campus with my friends Ezra and Tori... we got soaked from head to toe, and loved every bit of it. While our Dads watched us, our Moms picked blackberries downhill from the campus.

Look! An airplane!

Nothing beats romping with my Dad! And look, if you flip the picture around, it looks like my Dad is doing a hand stand, and I am holding him up!

Playing in a big moving box is almost as much fun as playing with the toys that were in it. Just be careful not to faceplant while getting in or out of it.

I love my Dada! What you can't see is that I got up here ALL by myself! I climbed up the back of the chair to look over Dad's shoulder. I'm a monkey!

My Aunty Linda took these last few pictures at my Momma's Aunty Therese's house. She had lots of fun things for me to play with! Therese has also been watching our kittie for the last 5 months... thank you Therese! We can't wait to have Merlin back with us... at least my Momma and I are looking forward to it... my Dad is still in denial.

Peek-a-boo!

Drawing "bugs" and circly things and squiggles is fun! My Momma likes to draw with me, and is looking forward to letting me paint with finger paints in the yard once we are all moved into our new house.

Aha. Therese's gold fish. I am not sure if they are happy to see me - they usually get pebbles dropped on them, and I like to feed them grass. If people didn't watch me so closely, I would probably try to climb into the water. Hmmm. How to distract them.....
