First Airplane Ride

 Oliver did splendidly on his first flight to California for Spring Break.  He squawked a bit before we the plane took off in Seattle and then settled right in for a long nap!  Probably because of our amazing parenting--HA!

Had to take a picture in front of the giant Shamu at Sea-Tac

BFFs

Ezekiel graciously held Oliver's hand for the picture though he wasn't in much of a "Best Friend's Forever" mood!

Picnics, Fish tanks and Backpacks

Sorry for being gone so long our faithful few!  Hoping to have a few weeks of updates soon.  Shall we begin...

A gorgeous pre-Spring day.  David, Tookles (Oliver's nickname) and me decided to have a little picnic!

Fell right to sleep when we tried out the hiking carrier!  Thanks Auntie Jeannie!
