Tristan Update

We've had several busy weeks. I have a bunch of random pictures here in no particular order. This one is of Snoqualmie Falls. We stopped by when we were on our way to Seattle to pick up my parents.

Mom and Dad came out for a week. They spent a few days with us in Chelan, and then we all went to Duncan conv. for the rest of the week. We had a lot of fun!

Dad and I had a gruelling hike up the Chelan Butte. It was a beautiful view, though. It was very steep, which was rough on the way up, but way worse on the way down. We were in a controlled (and often uncontrolled) slide the whole way down. All of our energy was put into slowing ourselves down. That really strains some unique muscles that we felt for days!

I think I mentioned before that Tristan is crawling. He has been for about a month, now. He goes everywhere! Just last week he pulled himself up to a standing position for the first time. Unfortunately, he pulled himself up on his Excersaucer, which shifts and moves. It slipped out from under him, so he was hanging sideways from it! First of many crashes I'm sure. Yesterday I came out of our room and he was standing up against a chair in the dining room.

We went to Salmon La Sac. We were maybe going to stay in a hotel for our anniversary, but then ended up camping in the back of the car on the side of the road right by the river. We had a nice hike in the morning and a freezing cold swim in the river.

Mark, Karol, Leah, Teana, and even Julie came for a weekend! It was a lot of fun. We went up to Stehekin on Saturday in Shawn and DeAnne's boat.
