Spring Seattle Sunbreaks

I know that April is supposed to bring showers, especially when you live in the Pacific Northwest, but we have had some great breakthrough days over the past few weeks. This was a couple of Sundays ago and we all just had to go out and lay in the grass. I love the little look on Adelyn's face here with Kathryn...like she's got something up her sleeve.



My grandparents and aunt and uncle were visiting that weekend, so the next day we headed out for an awesome scenic drive to Mt. Saint Helens and Mt. Rainier. Good timing for Aaron's birthday! Somehow he always gets sun for it.



Here is St. Helen's.



This week we have had some more good weather, so we had a little picnic down on the sound for FHE. There was an awesome view of Rainier, but we couldn't get a shot with the mountain and with Adelyn smiling at the same time. We did manage to catch a lot of slobber though, if you like those sorts of pics!



This one is a good still shot of her after we filmed the video from my last post.



This is her with mommy in her Easter (blessing) dress. When she gets older, please don't tell her how I deprived her of two separate dresses for her special days!!

Fun Videos

Since moving into our new house, we haven't been able to find our USB cord for the camera, so posting has been a bit slow. However, today I finally found it at my parents' house so I thought I would share some stuff. This video is from the first time she laughed, but we didn't actually catch the laugh because we were too slow with the camera. We did catch her suspicious look at the camera, which I think is priceless in its own right. She still isn't too trusting of the camera.

This is another, more recent attempt to film her laughing, and yet again we failed. It's still fun to watch though, if you can handle the fact that I filmed it sideways. If I were smart enough on the computer, I could fix that up for you. Any tips?
