Silly bear

We took this picture on Friday when Anna fell asleep in her swing. This was the first time that she pulled herself into a sitting position while IN the swing. I kept going over and gently leaning her back but she was insistant that she wanted to sit up. Well, finally she just got sleepy standing her ground and thought she might just rest her head for a minute and then fell asleep. :) Dane and I got a kick out of that.

It's Sunday afternoon and we are trying to keep cool in our family room. We just got home around noon from spending the night in Port Townsend. Our friends Zach and Joanna are having a baby boy in August and Joanna's parents hosted a bbq (or baby-q as Zach was referring to it!) in celebration of the expected bundle of joy. We had a wonderful time and I just have to say that this house was AMAZING! It sat up on a hillside right on the water with the most spectacular view of the water, mountains and marina. It doesn't get much better than that! We enjoyed a wonderful feast of chicken wings, bbq ribs, bbq corn on the cob, fruit salad, green salad and delicious cupcakes. We ended up spending the night there with Zach and Joanna, and it was nice to be able to put Anna to bed and with the monitor we were able to still enjoy our visit without having to leave by 7:30 or 8:00. We ended our stay with breakfast this morning at a great little cafe and a little more visiting before we had to hit the road. Anna was a trooper, but was due for a nap (and promply fell asleep as soon as we got on the road).

After we got home, a couple of Dane's buddies called and said they were heading out to float the river, so he ran up and got his swim shorts on and was out the door again! I'm happy to stay here with Anna...as nice as it would be to be out in the sun and on the water, I don't really feel like sitting there on an inner tube staring at my belly hanging out. :)
