Working Out

The one thing that has really fallen by the wayside since Oscar came along has been regular exercise. Now that Oscar is a little older, we are starting to get back into the habit of regular workouts. It's still really hard but important to do. This Saturday we finally made it to the morning kickboxing class. We brought Oscar along and he was great. Everyone loved meeting him and he even worked out with us.

Mt. Rainier Hike

The whole family once again braved the back country and went for a serious hike. We hiked 7 miles round trip to Spray Park on Mt. Rainier. It was a warm day and Oscar was very talkative the whole time. On the way up, there many streams and Oscar loved to sit and listen to them. We had great views of Mt. Rainier and there were even some wild flowers still around. A great day to be outside!

Here are some photos from the hike. You can see them all at:

Slurping is funny

Oscar doesn’t laugh very often, but when he does, we are beside ourselves with joy.  The things he finds funny are random, slurping an iced drink, dancing and singing in the kitchen, and funny faces.  He sometimes waits for us to acknowledge him and then lets out his little laugh.  Here is a quick video of his beautiful laugh - enjoy!
