Creeping Crawling (Almost) James

Today is the feast day of St. James the apostle, so it seems only fitting to give a little James update!  He is just about 8 months now, and has hit so many milestones at once.  He started getting onto his hands and knees, trying to crawl, and army crawling all at once.  (I was doing dishes when I heard Wyatt say, "Mom!  It's happening!  James is COMING FOR MY TOYS!")  He got his two top teeth in.  And James is eating all kinds of things now - some of his favorites are yogurt, oatmeal and apple sauce, and hummus.  We are beyond grateful for his good health and smiley demeanor after his slightly bumpy first few weeks.  

Happy Birthday Great Grandma Marguerite!

Ryan's grandmother is celebrating a special birthday this summer, and in honor of that, her whole family got together to celebrate.  All her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were there!  It was quite a party.  Our boys got to meet Grandma Gerrick for the first time which was so special.  We also went to a baseball game, the aquarium, swam in the pool, saw the ocean, and ate yummy seafood.  Despite the fact that we were recovering from summer sickies, it was a lovely time.
