The Wedding!

Our dear friends (and Jonah's godparents) were married this weekend in a lovely ceremony on the beach in Arch Cape, Oregon. Everything about the day was perfect.

The best couple you'll find anywhere (with the best kid around).

So smart - already using a calculater!!

Everyday looking more like a boy and less like a baby.

It's been a busy couple of weeks. Last weekend we had to make a trip to urgent care because Jonah was bitten by some sort of mean insect and he did not take kindly to it. His hand became very swollen and he started running a fever. The fever we thought was the result of some sort of spider bite but turned out to be the start of an ugly cold. Which came with an ugly rash:

Jonah seems to be feeling much better this weekend. Kevin and I got some major yard work done. We still have a lot to do but it feels good to have started the major ripping down and rebuilding of our front and backyards. It may take a year or two to really get things looking nice but it looks so different already. My major accomplishment today was to rip out some of the ugly vines on the backporch terrace and plant my grandfather's bougainvillea there.

Jonah loves playing in this cabinet.

He goes to bed now cuddled up to a toy car and his favorite book.

Making a mess this big is hard work.
