Surveying the Damage

Grandma Cathy with the short hair and Grandpa Joe have done a LOT of work to help us out. Thank you!! Here they are in a rare moment of rest.

Cupcakes!!

Scenes from my birthday BBQ

Fashion Forward

I got some new hand-me-downs - aren't I stunning? The shoes and faux-fur vest over my bathing suit - dahling, you look gorgeous indeed.

And you said WHAT Grandpa? No way!

Thank you Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Bobby!

Look at me on my new bike! It's almost perfect. Grandpa Joe is going to make some blocks to help my feet fit on the pedals until I grow just a little taller...but I sure do like being pushed around for starters. Look at me go!

Thank you Gigi!

With warm summer weather, we erected our b-ball hoop from Great Grandma Terry (thank you!) at the new place...needless to say, Amara wasn't bad for her first time out.

Eager anticipation...hey, what's that?

We celebrated Amara's birthday eve with gifts and a BBQ...good times had by all.

Happy 4th of July!

These are from our recent trip in and around Glacier National Park for the holiday weekend. Depending on your settings, you may need to click 'see older posts' at the bottom to see all the pictures. Sorry I couldn't apply better filters! It was a beautiful trip, despite not being able to go over Going-to-the-Sun road given the snowpack this year. These two pictures in particular are from our hotel in Bigfork, which is on Flathead Lake (which from other angles reminded me a lot of Lake Champlain).

Run run run Amara

Go catch Daddy's shadow...but wait, if I stop running, I can play with bugs and mud and pick flowers taller than me!

Mud Pie, anyone?

No surprise, Amara's a good little hiker

She really enjoyed the 'bumpy' trail that required climbing over rocks
