Dadda's Space boots

Lief scored some RED down boots & Monte took them out for a airwalk.

Along the Pacific Crest Trail

Heading out to the Pass with Bruce and Vinita. Monte is tanking up for the big journey. There were some snow flurries but he managed to stay warm & babble along the trail. We had a little lunch break for tea & sandwiches before looping back.






This is one of my favorite pictures!



A little video as we were heading out.

Our little bruiser

Well, he has become attached to this clear bag; it has his toothbrush inside & he likes to carry it off to the bath sometimes. Or chew on it while on the change table.

Wintery Morning Walk

Hard to believe, but this is the morning. Lief & Monte heading out for our daily coffee fix. Monte is either transfixed by the snow or half frozen (just kidding).

Hanging at Home

His new hiding place...in our little ottoman-slash-storage box.

Me in my Red Hat

Takes some coordination to get ourselves out the door, especially with all the layers but luckily it was sunny.

Sleeping Sack

A beautiful homemade sleeping sack from Eliza. Reminders of Sleeping Lady with the mountains, the fish hatchery & the 3 of us.

Monte meets Doggie the Chicken

Just another sunny day with Monte.




Here he is in action; meeting a chicken (who has since been eaten by a raccoon)...

Monte at Work

Visiting Lief at the office. Monte is a natural at the keyboard.

Visiting Owen & Poppy for Brunch

Nice time with Mike, Shawna & playing with Owen & Poppy in Columbia City. Mike demonstrates Monte's determination to rip off his cheek, in Monte's friendly sort of way of course.




Monte's first taste of orange juice (cut in half with water). A sweet tooth is born, just like Dadda.

Nanu Knitting again

Monte loves his sweater, thanks very much Nanu!

Monte likes to stand

He figured out how to pull himself up at daycare. Not exactly the same story at home, but still LOVES to hang out in Lief's man/boy fort with the couch cushions. Forget about crawling, still not happening.



Lief continues the sports indoctrination from the Sox to the Patriots.

A Vashon visit to the Lopez-Francis get-away

Oscar & Monte brining in the new year in baby style!



Thank you Tessa & Jamie...for taking us around for the Island walk, introducing us to your new furry friends & generous hospitality.




I promise not to make a sickly sweet Pavlova again.



Biggest new habit for the holiday, Monte decides to start taking the bottle again after a six month hiatus.

New Year's Resolutions

Monte has decided to start brushing his teeth.
He is very happy about this decision.

What is X-Mas without wigs?

It's Christmas time...can you see the snow blowing and the wigs flying?




Here are the three Kings posing for a little holiday celebration play.


Just some odd faces to throw into the mix as well. hmmm...not sure what is going on but I like it!




Quite a X-Mas morning; followed by a late night stealth operation to snag a tree roadside. Lief assures me he did leave $$ in the change box.



Diapers & beer, need we say more?!?

Hello Grammie Lee Lee

It was a crisp, sunny Christmas morning, perfect for a stroll through S. Berwick.


The Maine lobster toy is a big hit for Monte. It is a wooden, hand-crafted walker that keeps him entertained for hours! Thanks :-)



Snuggling at the coffee shop, reading some bed time stories and playing time while at work with Grammie.
