Cambria came by for a visit on the way through our area and it was nice for Joanna and her to get caught up on each others lives. Gretchen is a few months older than Gabriel. Isn't she cute?
A rare picture of Grammy without her camera. Usually she'd be the one taking the picture. However, that would be a little difficult to do of yourself. Anyway, it was nice to be able to get this shot. She and the boys are having a great time.
Joshua and Mackenzie are making me my birthday dinner. It was really good. Part of it was a Caesar salad.
This is all the kids at children's Hospital in Seattle. We've been dealing with Levi's alergies, and other issues lately. We're hoping to figure out what's going on with him. There is too much to type right here, but I can say that he's had a healthy 2 weeks in a row. Yeah! The pig that they are on is from a part of a fundraiser called Pigs on Parade.
There are these cool different pigs all over Seattle. It reminds me of the horses on the Hanagen that Dee is involved with in Bellingham. Cool ideas! After Children's, we went to the zoo to check out the animals. It was before noon, and most were sleeping. Well... the Gorillas and Bears anyway.
Family Movie Night! The kids love it.
Maille and Mackenzie had a great time playing when the Rollo's came to visit. Mackenzie also learned a couple of new funny songs.
Grandma Allinson meets Gabe for the first time at Nicoles wedding at my Dad's place. It was a nice wedding and Mackenzie was actually the one practically curled up in Grandma's lap most of the night.
Levi was playing in this tote and having a great time. I also made a little video but was having trouble converting it last week and couldn't get it to post. Well, I guess a picture will have to do. It is worth a thousand words.
Can you see Josh, Mackenzie and Me in the webcam photo. If you're not familiar with the photo, It's Western Washington University's Red Square. I called a friend and had him save the photo while we were in front of the webcam. It was fun and also part of a special kind of Geocache.
This is Levi playing with toys and water in the sink. Joanna decided that this was a great fun idea and boy was she right. We were having trouble with Levi trying to get into and climb onto everything. Now he stays in one spot and plays. I think he feels like he's getting away with something.
Here, I'm wondering what to have off the menu for my birthday dinner. Mackenzie was a great waitress. Gabe was hoping that I'd give him a bite. It didn't happen.
When we went to Bellingham we stayed at a hotel and the kids all had a great time in the pool. They were also amazed by the cable TV in the room. Man I hate commercials.

He's a little girl shy. But, when he found out that she wanted to play x-box he warmed up a bit. Pretty soon they were joking around and he found out that he got along with her good after all. He must get the feeling that all girls are going to be like his sister.
