Catfish

Catfish had some business in Portland and was nice enough to stop by. Aunt Cara was kind enough to babysit so Fish and I had a kid free lunch (which rarely happens for me anymore) and then came back to the house and made some cookies. As always Fish got some great pictures, as you can see Chloe was getting into the story she was telling. Thanks for coming by Fish!

Aunt Cara

Aunt Cara came for a visit. It was good to have her stay with us for awhile. Kaiya warmed up in no time and by the end of the visit was even asking to be picked up.

Medford

We had quite a crew at Grandma Maria's. Her garage was falling off it's foundation so all the kids/grandkids and great-grandkids came out to help. In one day they managed 4 trips to the dump, fixed the garage, tilled her garden, and trimmed her hedges. It was quite a site seeing everyone working. After a hard days work Jay brought out the Santa Maria grill and cooked an amazing tri-tip dinner.

The clamming King and Queen

We've become a little addicted to clamming and even John has caught the bug. He loves to go clamming as long as it's not windy or rainy and there is no possibility that he'll get wet! As you can see the last clam tide was perfect conditions, John got his limit and Chloe was the designated clam holder. John has even managed to get the largest clams the two times he's been out.

Baseball

John is playing his first year of Little League. He seems to really enjoy it and we have been pleseantly surprised at how quickly his team is picking it up. They have even managed to get three outs to end the inning.
