Olvia Snow Varda visits.

Olivia Snow Varda visits and brings her parents too. Her and Soren hit it off great!

Cousins!
... and our Irises bloom for the first time! It took nearly three years. The last summer didn't warm up very much. We have deep blue and purple and these lovely bearded blooms.

Soren being Soren.

He likes to go fast.

He likes to jump.

He likes to care for Chewie. Chewie came home, survived Parvovirus, and Soren like to make sure he ate his medicine.

Monkies jumping on the bed. It usually doesn't last long before one of them falls of the bed.

The usual mayhem.

I like child labor. They like to "dust' and even Soren gets a duster on a spatula.

Sneaky Kt, but apparently we sleep alike.

I can't leave him alone... and yes, the water is on but the blow dryer is unplugged. He's only brushing his teeth.

Ian, "Odin. Please stop giving your bother marshmellows."

I, Odin, and Soren all have this wine spot. Soren's is in the shape of a heart.

Things grow big and lush here.

We went to a park reserve that used to be the land of a logging family. Now it's an amazing garden you can walk.

That's some BIG skunk cabbage, but Soren liked it.

A purple Trillium. Unique and amazing.

A beautiful Japanese Garden.

Here is Soren playing with the Dandylions. (We've had trouble loading video's. I'm glad this one got on the blog.)

Celebrations

Chewie got a home hair cut after he survived Parvovirus. Yeah!

Soren got another Darth Vader toy for his 2nd birthday...Yeah!

He likes his cake.

Visiting Snoqualmie Falls with Odin, Nonna, and Poppa.

Nature.

Snoqualmie Falls after our trip to Leavenworth. 250 ft drop. Impressive.

Brotherly love.

Lupines collecting dew.

Raging Winnatchee river.

Poppa enjoys cabin life with the boys

Drinking the end of the evening ice cream. Thanks Poppa!

Keeping up with Soren is hard work.

Proud Poppa.

Two happy men next to a rushing river.

Hanging out on the cabin porch with Poppa.
