Summer Fun

Camping on Lopez Island, WA

Ethan and I went on another trip to see the Bandaragoda family in Seattle. We had a great time visiting Sanjaya, Christina, Satya, Rose and Bindu (the cat) who Ethan called 'dude' or 'bindude'. We went camping on Lopez Island, saw some old growth forest and picked blackberries. In Seattle, Ethan got to take his first carousel ride. Unfortunately, Justin couldn't join us since he had been planning to be working in AK for a couple of weeks.

Happy 33rd Dad

Ethan Last July

Here is a picture of Ethan from last year at this time.

New Haircut

I finally took Ethan to the barber. He's always liked watching the spinning barber pole when we walk by so he was excited to go in and sat very still. I didn't take the camera. He sat on my lap anyway. Here are some pics we took this evening.

Strawberries

Ethan checks the strawberry patch daily for new ripe berries. The white ones are ripe- a different variety. He's in charge of watering the raspberries which he calls 'auberies.' It's funny. He can say s words like strawberry, but if a w comes after the s, the s becomes a f. For example: fwing for swing and fweep for sweep.
