Dylan hangs out in his play yard on Saturday morning.


Taryn takes a turn rocking the baby.


On Sunday, Dylan hangs out at Lake Sammish in Bellingham.

We had a very nice weekend. On Friday evening, we drove up to Birch Bay to join a barbeque with the James and Wright families. We then met up with Rob and Jamie Soumas and family on Friday evening. They stayed with us on Friday and Saturday nights. On Saturday, Grandma Helen came to watch Dylan and Ciara so that Rob, Jamie, Lynette, and I could go to the Mariners game. On Sunday, we went back to Bellingham. We went to Lake Sammish for a bit, and then had dinner at Papa Rob's and Grandma Helen's. Tim and I went on a quick Harley ride and later played tennis.

Today, we went to Dylan's two-month check-up. He weighed 15 lbs and 8.5 ounces, and he was still in the 95th percentile for weight.

I then drove down to Porltand and picked up Grace and Harley. We drove back up and stopped at Rodondo Beach near Federal Way. Grace and Harley did a little swimming, and then we completed the trip. Grace and Harley were excited to check out their fenced yard. They also explored the kitchen and family room area (the rest of the house was off limits). They settled down to bed well, but I'm sure they miss their family in Portland.
