Busy Day

I told Brent we were running errands in town and he said we should go meet him at his next drop, so we did. Derek had a blast!! He got to watch Dad dump his load of cardboard, drive a forklift, and ride in Dad's truck! WOW!

After Brent lifted him in Derek said "Please shut the door" :) He had an important job to do!
Brrrrrrrrrum!


Big Day for Caleb! Today he took his first steps! He has been standing and squatting by himself for a few weeks now but this is the first time he has walked more than one step :) We have some cute videos but can't load them here :( This is him standing and playing Patty Cake right after some exciting walking :D

Nanny and Baba Visit :)

These pictures are actually from their last visit in May but they are new to us!
So on Wednesday we drove up to Jan and Hilary's and stayed overnight. A great time was had by all and some wonderful pictures were taken by Auntie Hilary so click the link and check them out!
Thursday we had to get some diapers from the local Whole Foods as some silly woman forgot the day time wool cover ;p Then we met Jan, toured his work place (one of them), and hung out by the fountain at Redmond Town Center. Next we made a quick stop at Chaco Canyon Cafe to stock up on raw food for the day, tried some new dishes and they were good. Then on to the Environmental Home Center in Seattle, loved it, and learned that soon they are no longer going to have remnants of Marmoleum available :O yikes!
Finally, we get to our 2:30 appointment; the interviewer was fast and funny, in about 5-10 mins we were told the info is sent electronically and my Green card will arrive in the mail within a month. Haljabalooya!! and Whoopadeedoodah!!!
Now I am hoping it comes in time for me to get to Duncan Convention :) :)
Our trip ended with a stop at the Tacoma mall to avoid the heat and traffic and to meet up with my Mom and Dad who came down for the weekend, so good to see them again!

Derek's passion and art :)

Caleb's current passion and skill :) (walking)

Our House!

This is pretty much where it is at just now. Hopefully the shingles will be done soon!

Here are Mimi and Derek in the back yard heading for the sliding door :)

We are standing in what will be the living room, this was on the 28th of June, the drywall is now nearly finished, yay! :)
