Happy June!

Hello from the beautiful Puget Sound! I'm writing to the sounds of birds singing in our lilac tree outside. It's a warm sunny day and absolutely gorgeous. Our latest news is that we have put our house on the market. We've decided to see how it goes and if things work out maybe find a bigger house in a new neighborhood. The market is slow but we had a showing today, so we're hopeful! Thankfully we serve a God that is bigger than this sluggish economy. :) In other news--though most of you probably know by now--we're expecting!! Baby #2 will be here in early November. We'd been hoping and praying for another baby for some time. God is faithful!!

Little B has been a busy girl lately. Here are some photos and videos to fill you in...

out for a hike

enjoying a day at NW Trek where we saw her current favorite animal--an owl!

Cousins Ian and Luke, take note: Grammy's house is now equipped with a pool. Mom and Dad filled this with warm water from the bathtub. :)

Hanging out in the backyard

click play to hear the next American Idol..this is typical Bailey--if she's not talking, she's singing!

Sampling her "stone soup."

...and this is the naptime face

We went on a tour of a pizzaria and she got to make her own pizza.

Step 1--don a cute apron.

Step 2--get to work! She kept putting the toppings in her mouth first, then if she liked them she'd take it out of her mouth and put it on the pizza. Logical, but the pizza man was not amused by this.

Step 3--wait....

and wait....

and finally--pizza time!



I'll leave you with this video of B singing a bathtime song composed by Daddy. It has also become a favorite song to sing anytime we stop to put gas in the car.
