The Snugglie with baby Bella
Bella loves the empty fruit bowl

Hi All, Hope everything is going well. Things have been a little toasty in Oregon this week. Our beautiful green lawn is turning a bit brown. All is going well with the baby. We have another check up on Friday. We are driving to Sacrmento this weekend to help my parents unpack. I think Allie will be incharge of the Ice Tea. Here are a few new pictures they were taken before our trip to crater lake but I was a little slow in getting them downloaded. Allie gave me a baby carrier for Fathers Day this year. We thought that Bella would make a good test pilot. Funny she didn't seem to mind.

at the coast

The last few weekends have been full of enjoying all Oregon has to offer, so for those that were curious here is Brian, me and my tummy at the coast. We were also down at Crater Lake, which for those of you who aren't locals is a beautiful National Park, with the deepest lake in the US, and the clarity puts Tahoe to shame. Above are photos during the day, looking down from the rim (63 stories above the lake). It was absolutely beautiful. And for any of you thinking about a visit, we have a near by camping spot steak'd out and we are ready to head back next summer and begin our little guy off on his camping adventures.
