The 2nd Update for Today

My cousin, Leah, the GRADUATE!! :) She's off to WSU in the Fall...


Leah, my grandma "Gommie" as we have affectionately called her, and me


Maggie was not so sure about her funny & wonderful, Uncle Bill, at first, but they were buddies again by the end of the party


Auntie Carla, Leah, and Uncle Bill


Got her attention ;)


Trying to crawl... (as of now, she is a scooter, that's right, she sits cross-leged, and scoots on her rear end to where she needs to go)


Showin' off her bottom two teeth, though the top ones are pushing through!


Ken & the kids, Uncle Pete & Auntie Sara with Ben in the pack out for a walk to Manito Park yesterday


Jack cracking up at Uncle Pete


Jack is fascinated by airplanes, Ken loves the little-boy wonder in Jack :)

This past weekend was my cousin, Leah's graduation from Pullman High. Ken had to work, so the the kids & I went down with my folks for the ceremony & after-party. What a blast! Jack absolutely loved running around in Beasley Colluseum and in the backyard at my aunt & uncle's house. I was so proud of both kids the entire duration of our adventures to Pullman! They did awesome in the car both legs of the drive, Jack sat quietly on my Dad's lap for the first hour of the ceremony, Maggie slept, and both were social & happy during the party. Well, ok, so you'll see in the picture below that Maggie needed some time before she warmed up to Uncle Bill. (whom she loves, but it'd just been too long since our last visit) Also, we had a great get-together yesterday with Pete & Sara (Pete is Ken's brother, Sara is our sister-in-law). Their son, Ben, (our little nephew) is about four weeks younger than Maggie, so it's always fun to get together. Then, to top off the busy weekend, Ken's parents watched the kids for us last night while we went out to dinner. What a full, FUN, weekend!
