All by myself... no body else...

This was Savannah's idea to go all by herself. She decided that while it was fun with other people in the tube, she wanted to try going all alone, as long as Andrew promised to drive slowly. He did, and she did just fine... in fact, I think she really wanted to go all by herself so that I would take her picture all by herself; as soon as she started to go, she started hollering, "take a picture, Mom!" and as soon as she saw me put the camera down, she was finished and wanted to come in. She did NOT, however, want to be dumped out of the tube and into the water. Can't really say that I blame her...

Boating at the reservoir

Here are some of our adventures on the boat! Savannah is all wet because she chose to move the inner tube while Andrew was trying to tow her in... she ended up in the water. The life-jacket didn't seem to help her feel better, we listened to her - "save me! Save me!!!" before she was finally able to realize that she wasn't under waterAnd here we have the beauty of the reservoir in Washington... it was wonderful. Mt. St. Helens in the background even let off a little steam for us! The weather was perfect for tubing - anyone else want to join us next time??? Linda

Heartbeats...

One little heartbeat at a time... We had the wonderful, miraculous, awesome experience of being able to listen to the baby's heartbeat. What a miracle that is! We're in the 11th week (better than the 11th hour, I suppose) and I've learned that I can't eat meat any time after about 3 in the afternoon... tonight's dinner consisted of French Fries and gravy...

more news as it evolves!

Boating on the Willamette

Last night we took our boat out for a jaunt. We had great plans to go tubing, but the tube didn't want to spend all that much time on the water, and decided to shred itself to get out of having anyone on it. In fact, our good friend Dave, was on the tube at the time that the tube bailed... he got wet. I'll post pictures tomorrow - I forgot to turn the camera off and the battery needs to be recharged. Needless to say, the night was gorgeous, the company was great (Savannah and Cal are still insisting that they're married... we'll see how they feel in about 12 years...) and the boat ran very nicely, thank you.
