Summer Time!

It has been a little too long since our last update because of our wonderful Seattle & Portland trip! Elle had a wonderful 9 days with Papa Swan and GMom (Elle calls them "Papa" and "G"). We missed her so much but we had a much needed adults only vacation filled with adventures, lots of sleep and delicious food! We did the Seattle Rock 'N' Roll 1/2 Marathon and it was a beautiful route and tons of fun! We raised $8600 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society so it was a very meaningful event. In Seattle we visited Leigh and Deb and then Ando hosted us in Portland! What a great trip!

Here are a couple of pics of our trip and an updated pic of Elle - 15 months old! She is a talker! Her vocab: doggie, mama, dada, papa, YaYa, G, quack-quack (when she sees a duck), cheese, teeth, puppy, uh-oh, shoes, baby, poopy, black beans (her first two words together and one of her favorite foods)... and probably a couple others that I am forgetting! And she has not walked by herself yet; she is only walking with a helping hand. She is crawling VERY fast and going up and down the stairs like a pro!
