Labor Day and Dave Matthews

So awesome - Tim Reynolds is touring with them this summer...

I love Carter's smile...

I love Dave!!!

Only about 50 cars in this entire lot!

Labor Day weekend was a blur... Joanna, Dave, Dana and I left Friday afternoon and returned Sunday night. We had a great time - cooler weather this weekend.

The highlight of the weekend was the Dave Matthews concert at the Gorge on Saturday night. Among the set my favorite was their cover of 'Sledgehammer' by Peter Gabriel.

Dave scored Plaza Premiere Parking and we were halfway down the hill! Check out the picture - that's the entrance of the main gate - behind us! The VIP tent and bathrooms with running water made all the difference. Another memorable show, saddened by the loss of LeRoi Moore; yet the music and mood of the crowd was upbeat.

Enjoy my pics!

Hot Hot Hot

This past weekend was the hottest yet at CB. In the triple digits all three days. The baby and I spent most of the daytime inside the new park model - with the AC. We had a great time with Uncle Jordan, Auntie Em and Cousin Alex.

We went boating on Saturday. It was so warm we actually swam in the Columbia river! Yes, Dana went swimming in the river too! She wore her life jacket and floated with the rest of us! After floating we just plopped her down in the middle of the boat on her towel with some toys and she was as happy as a clam!

It was a revival weekend all around - with wearing life jackets like 'diapers' and floating with a cold beverage in hand!

We ended the weekend by swimming in the pool again. Check Dana out - she was lounging in her floatie - you can see her toes in front of her under the yellow mesh - So cute!

Thanks Mom and John for a great weekend!

Weekend at CB

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Cresent Bar with Joanna, Dave, Lucas, Mom and John. The weather was great - not too hot. We arrived on Friday, first for a change, only to find we had no shed keys! We managed though, with help from the neighbors to get in and move the boat. Saturday was perfect with boating and swimming in the pool. Both babies were super.
Sunday morning got interesting when the power went out - that means no water either. We ended up packing up early and headed home.

All in all, a fantastic weekend with friends and family. We're looking forward to returning soon - to a new park model! And Dave Mathews on Labor Day.

Solid Food + Teething = No sleep

So our perfect baby who has been sleeping through the night since April has begun the fun process of teething. In addition she's started solid foods (apple is the new favorite). The combination of food digestion, and consequent poop, along with the pain of teething has resulted in a pretty cranky baby. Last night we were up every two hours - for a quick diaper change and feeding. Well, not really a feeding, more like a soothing. She's not up for more than 15 minutes, but it's the frequency that's killing us. Any tips?

I think tonight we'll give in and try some infant Tylenol. Wish us luck!

Dana's Latest Adventures!

So, as promised, some Dana photos!

Yes, I'm blogging now

Hello all! I've finally decided to take the plunge and start blogging. I've been reading lots of blogs lately, from the strange (see K$) to some really great ones (see Carrie's). My hope is to be somewhere in between.

My goal is to keep you all updated with events in our life and post recent photos of Dana.

So, enjoy!
