And nature says.....

we get a girl!!!
We found out on Friday morning. :)

3rd Anniversary

Another surprise, compliments of Brian!
We rented this little cabin up near Snoqualmie Pass, right on the river.

The view out the front window was the river...so peaceful.

The hammock was usually occupied by Brian and Eli.

Tried the fishing but most where to small. Got one keeper and Brian had it for breakfast.

It was pretty hot too...hence the fashion statement.

Meet Eli.

This is the newest addition to our funny farm. Eli is a male pug, about a year old, and a born clown. I found him on Craigslist...where we've found all of our pets.
This is Eli's first outing with us on a hike up to Rattlesnake Ledge.

And this one of Eli's encounters with Kirby. They are actually becoming friends, which is really funny to watch.

Brian found these little tennis balls with squeakers in them (since he can't get his mouth around a regular tennis ball). It's endless fun and squeaking until he looses it under the couch...or manages to tear apart and eat the squeaky part.

Beautifully arranged by Jill and Laura.

Miss Kate's going to need that onesie soon too!

Little miss muffet.

Torianna showing us how wonderful this gadget is.

Also showing us how fun it is to dump things out of bags!

Jasmine couldn't resist smelling the 'naturally refreshing cucumber and green tea' wipes.

Trying to figure out the moby wrap...

On a sunny afternoon...

...it was so nice we took a walk down by the Edmonds waterfront.

These kayakers were practicing rolls.

Tis a beautiful place we live...

He's getting so photogenic!

Our recent visitors.

This is the best shot we were able to get of this little guy. We think it might be an Anna's hummingbird.

And this one we think is is a Rufous hummingbird.
