Nice weekend

We had a very nice weekend, both weather-wise and event-wise. We spent Saturday running a ton of errands (Michael's, Best Buy, Dick's Sporting Goods and Toys R Us), then meeting up with Andy's brothers at Old Chicago for dinner. It was nice having dinner out for a change. There were a ton of kids there, so it made Ben's normal "talking" through dinner time just blend into the background noise... On Sunday, we set up our new 6-man dome tent (super-easy setup) as a practice for a future camping trip, then we headed out to Champoeg for a nice bike/ Burley ride and hang out time under the old oak trees. Oh yeah, Ben can now "blow kisses" very well all on his own. I've been helping him blow kisses to daddy everynight, and now he does it all on his own. Awww, he's growing up so fast...
















We broke down and got Ben a toy vacuum and corn popper - he loves them both!





















Here are Ben's first scribbles - on his doodle pro - you can't save it, so I thought I'd take a pic...

















And a random pic of an unexpected late harvest of strawberries from the few plants in our garden.















And a few pics from the park on Friday.



























































And a little clip of Ben and his Da-coom (da-coom, da-coom, da-coom).
