The Zoo...

Leah and I made a day trip to Seattle a couple of days ago to take the boys to the zoo. And let me just say, it was totally worth the drive. The boys loved it! They probably could have stayed for several more hours if the mamas hadn't gotten tired (it doesn't help that I sprained my ankle before we left that morning!). Here are a few pictures from the day. I think we might need to make this an annual summer event!

Christian & Brianna...

C.J.'s brother, Christian, got married last weekend to the lovely Brianna, and Owen had the privilege of being their ring bearer. It was a beautiful wedding and we are thrilled to add Brianna to the family! And I must say, I'm pretty sure this is the spiffiest Owen has ever looked!

The Beach...

We just got home from out annual trip to Kalaloch, and it was just as fun as ever.  Although we did get a bit of rain, we had prepared for a lot worse so we were glad to see the sun a few times.  I've always loved Kalaloch, but it holds and even more special place in my heart now that I have children old enough to enjoy it.  Here are, once again, far more pictures than most of you care to see:
