Summer Time!

funny face

Rion did the funniest face the other day that had me cracking up. I think this picture just about captures it...

mother's day

tulips

eight months old

outing to edmonds beach

Duckie

Rion in his new duckie bath.

Rion with the Kittens

Auntie Alicia has baby kittens that Rion adores. He just loves animals!

with cousins

Rion, Grammy, and I went to visit Aunt Cathy (or Marmie) and her grandchildren Peter and Evie. We had a great afternoon visiting and going for a walk.

awake

Here's Rion just woken up from a nap. He was so happy. Peeking through the rails of his crib.

Before...

After...

Rion and I celebrated St. Patricks day by having his first haircut. His hair was getting pretty crazy and he has started a new habit of pulling on it. So I decided to cut it shorter. It's funny how much a haircut can change one's appearance. He looks like a little boy now, not a baby.

rwanda benefit show

My sister's dear friend Annie is headed to Rwanda to spread God's Love. She and her friends put on a benefit show to raise funds for Annie to bring down to the orphanage that she will be helping. Annie's personal story and connections she has made in Rwanda surely stirred my heart to support her with this mission. The show included music, dance, and my mom's artful boxes.

visit with cousin deva

first tooth!

Rion got his first tooth right at 6 months. Then just a day or two later a second popped up!
