On a early summery day

The weather here has been so nice for the last few weeks or so that Eily and Cavy's playgroup went out for a more summer like trip this week. We live in a little town right on the coast of Puget Sound, and one of the state car ferries runs out of here. These ferries also have walk-on access, so our intrepid playgroup decided to go down and park their cars...walk onto the ferry and ride it across to Whidbey Island. They rode across and they played on the beach, where Cav proceeded to fill up a bucket of sand and dump it over his head. Crazy kid...couldn't eat it like a normal 18 month old, could he?!?

Anyway, pictures below.

On the ferry

Playing on the Beach (Cav's first trip to the beach!!!)

Back at home, Eily decides she's finally had enough of Cavan!

But Cav can't be contained...especially when he's thirsty!!!

Easter...a bit late!

Howdy all...I'm finally back, to try and get some easter pics up for everyone to look at. We had a great easter here in Washington, the weather was (mostly) nice, the cherry trees were blooming and grandma and grandpa came for a visit!!! How much more fun could that be!!!

The kids were their usual magnificent selves...they're getting so big it's just incredible. I'm very proud to announce that Eilish is now going potty on the potty like a big girl...and only wearing pull-ups during sleepy times!!! She wears regular underwear all day and hasn't had an accident in weeks! Now we're just trying to coach her through sleep times...she's doing pretty good...most nap times she wakes up dry...and even a bit lately, she's waking up from a night of sleep dry. She's getting so close!!! She is currently obsessed with the movie "Bolt"...and because of it, she spends 1/2 her days on her hands and knees barking at me.

Cavan is starting to get really curious about his surroundings and points to things all the time, trying to get us to tell him what they are. It is bloody adorable when he tries to repeat it back...Lights are "Li", the cieling is "c", balloons are "ball" and balls don't seem to be anything (figure that one out, LOL!!!) He has also reached a level of physical adeptness that Eilish now accepts that he can play with her and now they retreat into her room for hours at a time and just play their little hearts out.

Anyway...on with the pictures!!!!

Bucket boy is back!!! In a new, bigger bucket!!!
