Weekend in Napa!

We spent the weekend in Napa for my cousins (Burke) wedding. it was a blast--lots of parties and of course, Porter loved showing off all of his new skills and spending time with the fam!

Visit in CA!

we were able to fly into CA early to spend the night with Auntie Dee and Uncle Geoff who cooked us an awesome dinner and hwe had lots of play! porter loved his time with them--especially the am in bed while m&d went for a run. we then met up with Auntie Michellle and Kaira for the day--they are starting to interact which is fun!

well...if this isn't cousin behavior, I don't know what is!

Porter Walks!

Walla Walla Wine Tasting Weekend!

With the kiddo's and all, we had a very successful wine tasting weeekend in Walla Walla. Hit 7 wineries on Saturday, which is good with oiur group size and extra baggage! lots of fun--can't wait until the next trip~

1st Bday Party

for the monkey themed party, Sitti (carol) crafted an unbelievable monkey cake for Porter--such a treat! setting the bar high!

attempted to get a few of the kids together for a photo--turned into a cry fest!

Our adventure in the Bahamas!

After spending time witht the Elliott clan in florida, the three of us headed down to the Bahamas, and island called Elutherea. we rented a great condo right by the beach with a pool porter LOVED--he has become a little fish. explored lots of fabulous beaches--many of which porter could crawl around and play in the tidepools. great dinners, picnics and lots of laughs! only lesson: buy a seat on the airplane if longer than 3 hours--my legs are still recovering!

First Easter~

our little bunny!

Porter's first Easter Egg hunt on the beach--loved the eggs!

Found one!

sun and fun in florida!

Porter LOVED that he could be naked and enjoy the warm weather. one of his favorite pass times was standing on the deck watching the boats go by!

Porter is on the move!

The little guy (my monkey) as I refer to him is moving all over the place--crawling, trying to climb on everything, and trying to figure out the whole walking thing while talking his entire way through it~ We are off to Florida and the Bahamas on thursday am for som fun in the sun---practicing the no sand in the mouth thing--should be interesting to see how that works. more to come!
