Four Part Harmony

Well we’ve finally shaken off our long, wet, cold spring, and summer is in full swing in Portland. The last week of June was pretty hot here. We hit 100 last weekend and it’s been pretty consistently up around 90 or so during the day lately. On the bright side, the tomatoes and summer veggies have finally started to show some signs of life and are really taking off.

We’ve been spending a bunch of time with Dawn and Doyle and Kadin lately. Anna and Kadin have been getting quite a bit of swimming in on these hot days. Here they appear to be sitting down to a lovely dinner.

Milo still sleeps quite a bit. Eats a lot too. He’s started smiling those random huge baby smiles that some out of nowhere and then disappear in an instant.

I guess maybe all babies do this little scrunchy pose, but when he does this he makes the exact same expression Anna used to make.

Anna’s still pretty fond of her baby brother. She hugs and kisses him like crazy. Anna and I have been practicing our signs (the ones we can remember) so Anna can teach Milo when he’s older. She’s also planning on teaching him to crawl, walk, talk, eat, and a bunch of other stuff too.

This is the true expression of Anna’s love right here though. Here she has Milo covered up with the cloths that she usually reserves for covering up her dolls and stuffed animals. If he’s laying on the floor while she’s in the middle of playing the “let’s put covers on everybody” game, then Milo has to get covered up too.

Here’s a nice picture that Corrie must have taken when they all went on a picnic in the park yesterday. I was stuck at work, so missed out.

More sleepy Milo.

Hope you all have a nice long weekend and 4th of July. Talk to you again real soon.
