The finer moments of pregnancy...

 

Aunt Jen Returns!

Aunt Jen came from Eugene for a long weekend and we made the most of every minute of her visit from afar. In a 3 day period, we crammed in swimming, reading, cooking, many walks, bike-rides, dinner out, several hours of olympics, shopping in downtown A2, back-yard sports, ice-cream eating, and of course lots of great conversation. We loved having you, Jen!

mud!

Not sure exactly what the activity was here, these shots came from school.  I particularly enjoyed the last one, he looks like an experimental artist.

KT and the Bluegrass Band!

We have met our neighbor, KT, several times while we're out walking and she is sitting on her porch playing her banjo.  Alden took an immediate liking to her after she let him play her ukulele (I definitely just had to look up how to spell that word).  Last night her whole band came over to practice on our porch, and we totally benefitted with a free concert!  Thanks, KT and friends!  You guys were great!

 

 

half way!

Taking full advantage of a beautiful weekend, an at-home Carl, and a belly that is not yet too big, we embarked on a multi-hour bike ride today, stopping off at the park so that Alden could cool off in this giant mud puddle.  He needed a full body rinse off before we could proceed with our ride.
