Last weekend we drove up to Bellingham to visit friends. We always look forward to our trips back to the town where we went to college, fell in love, and started a family. We visited as many of our favorite spots as we could with two little boys under tow.
As usual, Avery and Bjorn had a blast together. They went on bike rides, played on the slip ‘n slide and in the sand box, and ate all the currants from Jen & Oliver’s back yard. Notable conversations we overheard included one about where babies come from. Avery insisted you could buy them at the hospital, while Bjorn had a more accurate understanding of what goes on. Also, Bjorn, who believes the monsters from Where the Wild Things Are are not real, was surprised and alarmed when Avery told him they are in fact real, and live in the forest on nearby Lummi Island.
On Sunday, Jonathan met up with some co-workers at the Brewers by the Bay Beer Festival. He had a great time visiting with his coworkers who he doesn’t get to see often enough, and enjoyed sampling many of the great local microbrews.

So cute reading together at bedtime. Too bad they wouldn’t quit talking and go to sleep!
