handsome man

We've had such a great summer. Nice and warm - even hot - and lots of sunshine. Today it really feels like that perfect summer is over. Not a bad thing. It just feels like a great autumn has started. So, Gavin and I went for a quick walk to a the little park around the corner, took some pictures, and sat on the swing. (Gavin's so cute on the swing - he doesn't hold on to me; he holds on to the chains.)

Here are a couple pictures of my sweet, handsome, adorable, chubby little man.

We took Gavin to see the Seattle Sounders a couple weekends ago. I think Ryan wants him to be a sport's fan. We've already taken him to a baseball game and now to a soccer game, and he's only six and a half months old! It was kind of loud, and Gavin was scared at first, but then got used to it, had some fun, tried to eat some strange man's hot dog, got rained on, and eventually fell asleep. It was a lot of action for one day.

half year

September 12 was this cute little man's half birthday. It's hard to believe that he's already 6 months old. He had his 6 month checkup on Monday. He's a healthy boy, and still growing!

We went to Lake Chelan for Lydig's PTL golf weekend. Ryan golfed, Gavin and I went for walks, we all went swimming, ate food at the company BBQ, and hung out with friends. A nice little holiday.
