June Update

June was eventful!

My first experience catering for a large event (200+)
Congratulations Gutenberg Graduates!

One of my sisters graduated as well (from UofW at Bothell) which meant a lovely trip to Seattle with time to visit many dear people (few of which I have photos)

Me, the lovely graduate Jennifer, and our mom (most often referred to here as Gigi)


There was pool time at Gigi's


Ample time for grandson appreciation
(though my mother assures me it is never enough)


When we came home...
...Elliot turned TWO! (recipie can be found here)

He enjoyed himself


I was able to visit with my dear old roommate from long ago, finally remembering to bring a camera (as we were pregnant at the same time last time - her first my second - and again this time). This photo curtousy of Søren.


June also hosted many mornings and evenings on the back porch watching the garden grow. Harvests coming soon!

Look at you, pretty mama!

Nice shot, Soren.

Elliot is TWO? No way.

Was just thinking about you today. Glad you posted.

We had no (well almost no...except for a few eggs) food in our house when we got back from vacation last night. Fortunately, though, Boo Rad was able to snag beans, chard, kale, an onion, and even some blueberries so we didn't starve today! LOVE having stuff to eat so close by.

Wonderful summer you're having. Those are great pictures.

Great pictures! Happy birthday, Eliot! Yes, let's go for a walk sometime! As for trails closeby, maybe Mt. Pisgah, Spencer's Butte, or the Ridgeline trail? Aaron's off for the summer (yay!), so he'd probably love to tag along too. Sorry I keep missing Azure deadlines. We've been out of town a bunch. Is there another one coming up soon?

Leah - I can't believe Elliot is 2. I thought I was going to be able to keep him little! I guess I'll try harder with the next one =) Still need names....

Deanna - It has been lovely! Lovelier still if I could have a cup of tea with you and Cherie.

Abby - We did a bit of the Spencer Butte trail (or the Fox Hollow section?) this past weekend, and Soren did 3 miles all by himself (Elliot in the backpack), so I think we're definitely up for some good hiking. Perhaps later this month?

Next Azure deadline is the 15th! I'll send out a reminder next week.
