Busy Busy

I always worry that when life is busy and it seems to be just that lately, that I will forget what life is for us right now. Max has been walking since August. He gets cuter by the day if that is possible. And busier by the day, if that is possible. I forgot about the climb on everything stage. He requires retrieval from the table top multiple times a day. He is a tease, he loves his dad, and his cheeks are chubbier than ever. He has a shoe and sock fetish. It has become quite annoying to put socks and shoes on him 1021 times a day, so we try to keep those objects hidden. I still force him to take 2 naps a day, it's my sanity and he happily obliges.
Marcus walks in the door from a business trip and this is what happens each and every time. It does my heart good to see it.

Up North

We made a trek up north for Phil and Angela's reception. It was my first time to Pullman, Washington and northern Idaho. It was BEAUTIFUL! It's a shame I didn't take pictures of the rolling wheat fields and the old farm homes and red barns. But, I imagined our little family living in each and every one of them. Here is the barn the reception was held in. And there was a dance afterwards, but the kiddos were zonked and we headed back early.

Marcus was practicing his surprise-shoot-from-the-hip camera skills.
