Paul

someone has learned how to write his name. I went outside the other day and found all these attempts. Not bad for a 3 yr old:)

you can call him ulap

this one is just crazy, it's totally perfect in mirror. He must have put the bump on the "p" on the wrong side and figured he'd go with it.

meteor shower

Chris took the big kids out to big beef creek to watch the meteor shower. Everett saw 17 and Anna saw 11. Chris took some really cool pictures with long exposures. I'm loving them all!

Lopez Island

Lopez Island was always the favorite family reunion destination as a kid. We'd head up north every 6 years and enjoy the beautiful trees and water. Now I live in a place that looks a lot like Lopez. I was a little worried I wouldn't find it as beautiful as in years past...luckily it still has it's charm. Chris & I actually spent our honeymoon up here (10 years ago). We had so much fun just enjoying the property, kayaking, camping, fishing, hiking, agate hunting, and crabbing. Thank you Bumsteads for letting us come and stay!
