Trip to Bellingham

Posted on August 4, 2007 by Jonathan

Yesterday we made a day trip up to Bellingham to meet with the old and new tenants at our rental house. It was a busy afternoon full of cleaning, touch up painting, and sorting out assorted problems that came up. By about 7:30 we finished up at the rental and it was time to visit two of our favorite eating spots, Wingdome and Mallard Ice Cream. After that we headed over to Ray and Betty’s house so they could meet Avery. And finally we stopped by Jen and Ollie’s to catch up with them for a few minutes.
So why did we move away from such a beautiful place?

For those of you who don’t know Ray, he’s an incredibly cool older guy with the spirit of someone a quarter his age. He’s also the man responsible for creating the 76 Ball, among many other familar American icons.

Whoo Hoo a Jumperoo!

Posted on July 30, 2007 by Jonathan

We made a very wise investment last week. We bought a Jumperoo for Avery. It’s his new favorite thing.
On Saturday we loaded Avery (and the Jumperoo) into the van and went to photograph a friends wedding in Vancouver. Grandpa King babysat Avery and Commodus while we were away.
We brought a bottle of bubbles home from the wedding. Yesterday we decided to blow them at Avery and see what he thought. He wasn’t too interested, but Commodus went crazy. He ran all around the kitchen trying to pop them in his mouth.
Avery is his Jumperoo.

Napping with Daddy

Posted on July 24, 2007 by Jonathan

On Sunday I had an all-night server upgrade project at work. By the time Monday evening rolled around I was exhausted. However I still managed to drive up to Google’s office in Kirkland to see a presentation by Vint Cerf, the man who is often credited with creating the Internet.
This afternoon I was finally able to catch up on much needed sleep. Avery decided to join me for some cuddles.

Four Months Old

Posted on July 22, 2007 by Jonathan

Avery turned four months today. He sure has changed a lot since he was born. In addition to rolling over Avery is reaching out for things, babbling frequently, and he’s discovered his feet. He’s very sweet natured, flirty, and loves smiling for everyone.

Avery Rolls Over!

Posted on July 12, 2007 by Jonathan

Avery must have known we’ve had a difficult week, because he found the perfect way to make us smile. He rolled over by himself for the very first time. In fact, now anytime we place him on his back he quickly winds up on his tummy.
What a clever little boy!

Commodus explains how to roll over in only two pictures.
