Fun weekend!

The weather has been beautiful this weekend. We have been trying to spend as much time outside as possible. First we cleaned off the deck on Friday and have had a few meals out there.

We also had Roman and his parents over to Grandma and Nana's house to play in the kiddie pool and in the water table.

Will and Dad spent sometime in NW Portland while Mom got her hair cut. It was nice of Will to take a break and sit down a few places to watch the world go by and give Dad an excuse to rest his feet.

Today we went to the Audobon Society near our house and hiked the Jay trail and saw the Salamanders in the pond.

We hope there are a lot more weekends like this this summer!

<--We are also awaiting our 4 millionth visitor. Check out the (inaccurate) counter in the side bar.

Father's Day

Mom and Will gave Dad a great Father's Day. He slept in, had a big breakfast, opened gifts, did the Portland Sunday Parkway Bike Ride with the family, hung out in Peninsula Park, had a nice dinner, then settled in at home with a movie and strawberry banana milk shake. A pretty good day!

Here are some pics from the Rose Garden at Peninsula Park:

Alphabet

Will almost has the whole alphabet down: ABCDEFGHIJK.. MNOPQRST.. WXYZ

We have some great talking fridge magnets from LeapFrog that have been a big help. Also a lot of alphabet books; Child's First ABC Book, Sleepy ABC's, Curious George learns the alphabet, and more. He even has the order down and knows the lower case now too.

Will gets really excited to recognise letters when we are out. Here are some pics of him waiting for Mom outside Anthropogie...

Theo's Birthday

Theo Refi turned one year old and had a fun birthday party. There were kids of different ages and Will played with lots of toys and had some birthday cake.

Will gave Theo a birthday pat on the shoulder.

The guests had delicious monkey cake.
Theo had his very own banana shaped cake. He really dug into it. Will enjoyed playing with the other kids and checking out the vegetable garden, the watering can and bugs.

Watering Cans - Will's favorite things, part 8

William loves his watering cans. He waters the flowers around the house, he waters the plants on the porches, he waters everything. Here are some pictures of Will with some watering cans:
