Boston Bound

We just returned from a trip to Boston where Keaton got to meet his grandparents for the first time and his cousin Wyatt! I would say it was love at first sight for all and we already miss them!

My dad and my aunt Claudia also came to be part of Keaton and Wyatt's baptism. We were a little worried about the all white outfit staying "all white" for the entire ceremony, especially after the previous day's disaster in the pants. But it was a success! Keaton's godparents Eileen and Matt were also able to share in the ceremony.

Here is a picture of the dads on Father's Day, which was also the same day as the baptism:

This was our morning view from grandma's beachfront cottage that we got to stay at....now that we know where she hide's the key, we might be back sooner than she thinks!!

No more big trips planned for the rest of the summer. Instead we'll be enjoying our "almost beachfront" property over here and exploring the parks and beaches in West Seattle.

Adventures in Alaska

Keaton went on his first vacation last week to Fairbanks, Alaska. We went up there to meet his new cousin, "Baby No Name". She was born on May 12 but doesn't have a name quite yet so that is what we called her. It was a great trip and the sunniest weather we have seen this summer (in the 80's and sunny every day)!

There were a lot of firsts on this vacation.....here are some pictures of them.

First time on an airplane:

First time on a boat:

First time on a train:

First time in a swimming pool:

First time on a swing:

First time visiting Santa at the North Pole (he wasn't there):

First time being hot from the sunshine (it's been a chilly spring so far in Seattle):

Here is a picture of all the cousins:

Here are Keaton's souvineer t-shirts "My First Alaska T-Shirt", "Dear Santa, It Wasn't Me":

Overall, I think the highlight of the vacation for Keaton was discovering his thumb! Sucking his thumb was probably his favorite part of the whole vacation!

Next Vacation in 2 weeks to Boston, MA! More adventures to come.....
