Diaperless and Dandy(lions)!

On sunny days, we often enjoy going to parks, soaking up the rays and being carefree with one another.

Recently, at Bella Vista Park, London shed his diaper and gave himself some air while he picked dandelions and provoked a wrestling fight with Daddy.

Enjoy the video!

Liberty's coming into her own

Our little princess is really starting to respond to us. We can't believe how big she's getting, and how much she's learning. She likes to talk to Mom and Dad from time to time, and even will laugh when Daddy tickles her. Watch the video below to see her react to Daddy:

New family pics!

Wow, it's been a few weeks, huh?

Well, would you believe we've been busy making videos and taking pictures? You don't believe it? Well, check these new family photos out, taken on Mother's Day. The studio-style one is from the free pictures taken at East Hill; the other was taken at the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Gardens. Enjoy!

What amazing weather!

We've been really blessed with some fantastic weather lately. We thought April 6 and 7 was good... April 19 and 20 were record-breaking, dancing at around 80 degrees!

Daddy has Mondays off, so we went to Jamison Square Park in Portland's Pearl District to do some splishing and splashing. London loves wading in the fountain water and climbing the terraced fountain steps. There were a lot of other kids around, as you might expect (especially since school wasn't in session that day), but London didn't mind them... and they didn't mind him.

After playing for a while, all four of us went to Ben & Jerry's (and a day before Free Cone Day, darn!) for some waffle cones of cookie dough and mocha chip. Mmmm! What a day! We thank God for these days because they're probably the closest thing to paradise Earth has to offer!

Watch London as he plays in Jamison Park!

LoJo the Hoopster

Some sunny, 70-degree weather means that we are getting out of the house and playing wherever we can! Yesterday we went to Timberline Park, where London got his kicks at the basketball court there. He wasn't satisfied just watching a teenager shoot hoops... he had to show him how it's done, or at least how to hold on to a basketball.

Enjoy this video (and the weather, if you're local)!

The Diaper Change Blues

London doesn't mind diaper changes as much as he used to, but he minds them even less if he's able to play the "la-la" (guitar) while he's tidied up. And now, may we present "The Diaper Change Blues."

Even more Easter fun!

We took a lot of pictures and a lot of video this Easter, and we'd be remiss if we didn't give Liberty a little more camera time, nor if we didn't show the new drum set our apartment managers bought London.

So here are two more videos for your enjoyment! Check 'em out!
