Now a family of four, life is never a bore. We are enjoying our two boys and life in Sequim. Our blogging these days is lacking, but we haven't given up...

Birthday Boy!

Gavin turned 2 on August 13th. Instead of a party this year, we borrowed a trailer from some friends, went camping for the weekend and went to the zoo (Pt. Defiance in Tacoma) for the first time.

We had a great weekend and lots of fun as a family.




Birthday morning Oatmeal. One of Gavin's most requested meals. He especially likes the raisins.


Gavin loves wearing the head lamp.

Presents. He understands them now and is very happy to open them.


Daddy sporting Gavin's bear mask.


A little time at the beach before going to the zoo. We had great weather!


Gavin posing next to the Tiger and her cubs in his special birthday Tiger shirt from Gramme-- perfect zoo attire.

Watching the big elephants.


Family photo op in the shark's mouth.


Gavin's first carousel ride. One wasn't enough for him, so we sprang for a second.

One of the only photos with mom that day. At this point we were all tired and what looks like a fun photo is actually a smiling moment in the midst of toddler meltdown. Yes, he is 2, but for most of the day he was extremely fun and in a great mood.


I made Gavin's birthday carrot cake (in advance of our trip) so that we could celebrate around the campfire.


This boy sure does love life!
