Helping out with Fall chores

One of the few smiles we've been able to get on camera

Unlike Cashel, Peter doesn't mind the baths

We took the kids down to Camp Millennium's pumpkin patch and Santa was visiting

This was a maze where the kids needed to find the Easter bunny. Hmm...where could he be?

Found him!

Peter spent the whole time like this (looking mildly irritated while trying to sleep)

Hang loose

Picking out a watermelon to launch out of the catapult

Pull the lever, the watermelon is launched!

Audrey, Cashel, and Nathan Rock Band jamming

October 2, 2009 to October 12, 2009: Visit to Washington

It's crazy how much stuff we need for a trip to Washington

Visit with Grandpa Jim, Grandma Judy and the cousins

Peter meets Aunt Sylvia

(This one's for Kacey)

We had a nice visit with the Sledges, where Cashel and Xander had a great time as usual

Clare didn't know what to think of Peter

Rough-housing with Mike

We all stayed at the Chrysallis in Bellingham for a night (it was Cashel's first hotel stay), where she got to feed Peter for the first time

"I could get used to this"

Thank goodness for the swing

Big sister got to sleep in the window seat

Bellingham Bay

Do we have to go back to Oregon?

Peter meets Aunty Susan

Pike Place

mmm....donut

We visited the Smoldons where we all got to meet baby Jaydon

We also met up with our friends, Carrie, Charb, and Michael for dinner and Guitar Hero

Charb's not really playing...he thinks he is, but Cashel is playing for him (or was it the other way around?)
