We celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary early this year to be safe.  Mommy and Daddy had a delicious dinner at the new restaurant on the hill, Marron.

Mom-Mom and Doc sent us a nice anniversary card and Blaine decided to add his own artistic touch:

Here are some pics from 9/16 of Daddy and Blaine planting some new grass seed in the yard.

We visited the zoo and Blaine’s hat fell into the goat pen.  A goat picked it up and started waving it around.  Blaine replied by screaming “my hat” at the goat — the goat didn’t care.

I took these pics at the Little Gym on 8/17 but haven’t gotten around to posting them yet!  This is a weekly class we started over the summer and plan to keep up through the fall.

Our PEPS gathering on 9/7 was out in West Seattle at Alki Beach.  The day was beautiful, but the water was pretty cold.  The kids didn’t seem to mind, though.

And, here’s a random brunch shot from September, at Coastal Kitchen.

Gram and Grand-dad came to visit at the end of August, just in time to celebrate both of their birthdays!  Blaine is still talking about it.

Blaine made birthday cards for Gram and Grand-dad, complete with many construction stickers:

When Grand-dad asked what this sticker was a picture of, Blaine identified it as “butter”:

Blaine also loved helping to open the presents:

And he proceeded to play with Gram’s new potholders for the rest of their visit:

Gram and Grand-dad read Blaine many stories during their visit:

They also took Blaine on several outings to the park, and we had a few brunches and other meals.  Thanks so much for visiting, Gram and Grand-dad!  We had a great time!

We had a great time at PEPSapalooza in August, where we got to see Caspar Babypants!  Thus began Blaine’s current obsession with the song, “Kangaroo”.

It turned into a hot day so I had to improvise a hat:

Here are a few other shots from August of Blaine helping cook breakfast – he loves to crack and scramble eggs (with assistance).
