Fun in the Sun

Hola friends and family. It's been awhile....somehow my laptop screen got cracked (hmmmm I wonder who was involved in that??) so I'm using Jason's work laptop which has some issues. Anyway...these pictures aren't necessarily in the order of the time they happened but I will narrate along the way.

Elyas was in his first wedding in May. He was the ring bearer and I was the matron of honor for our wonderful friends, Jennifer and Bob. Here are a few pictures from their lovely wedding.



This is Elyas' former sitter's husband, Peter, who we adore. As most of you know, Elyas is quite musical and I think Peter is part of the reason. He exposed Elyas to his talented guitar playing when he was at their house and for that we are extremely grateful.

The beautiful bride and groom.

The next round of pictures are from our family vacation we took to Seattle, San Juan Island, and Vancouver, British Columbia. It was a wonderful trip and Elyas was such a good little traveler.

This first one is from the Seattle Art Musuem. They had a whole area just for kids. Elyas had a blast there.

Wiped out after a long day of checking out the city.

Mount Ranier.

Pike Place Market. A very cool place to get some local food and goods.

The famous space needle.

Vancouver, BC.

Strolling around Gastown in Vancouver.

Kids Market at Granville Island in Vancouver....an entire place w/ 2 floors devoted to kids. Fun times.
