just some photos

A busy month (when do we ever say anything different?) around here. Maren's done some exciting stuff: helped wash Daddy's truck; celebrated Mother's Day; made a pizza with Dad; went to the Ballard locks; chose a new pair of sunglasses; and traveled to Spokane.

It all looked a little like this...

Surprise for Mom!

Kiss for Mother's Day

Maren has superior hugging skills.

And she has a bright future in pizza making.

PIZZA!

Well done, Daddy.

Let summer begin!

spring arrives

Maren is becoming a big fan of gardening. For her birthday, Aunt Teresa, Uncle Eric, and Shiloh gave her some seeds and a greenhouse kit - and it's finally been warm enough to plant them! She and dad went out last week and did some digging in the dirt. Hopefully, a few of those seeds are still in the earth somewhere.
