19 months and 20 weeks

Running around in super grover underwear with safety goggles on. Can never be too prepared...at 0530 on a Saturday. He is a potty trained mad man, with very few misses. He loves to pick out his own underwear and will sometimes go get a new pair because he wants something different on. Working on pulling up his own drawers. We still have our word of mohr, but I think we might also have "allau" for hello when the phone rings.

20 weeks. We've reached the halfway point. I feel great. This kiddo is a jumping, kicking machine. We go in for an ultrasound on Tuesday and check up to make sure everything is going well. Abraham still loves to have me sit down, pull my shirt up, give the baby a hug and then blow raspberries. When he has sufficiently loved his baby, then he pulls my shirt back over my belly and tells me to stand up. Love him.

Leadville camping trip birthday week.

We headed up to Leadville, CO (elevation 10222ft) for an evening of camping and paddling. Our campsite was GORGEOUS! It was a high alpine lake, surrounded by pines. The wind was up when we got there, but died down as the evening passed. The morning was beautiful, but a bit cold. The temp was 38 degrees when we got up! Abraham, as always, loved to be outside. He helped stack firewood, cook dinner, blow up the thermarests, do dishes, paddle, load the canoe, feed Toiyabe and so much more. He even managed to continue to potty train himself. This boy is determined.

Super baby using the ergo to get stuff done.

Helping around camp.

Beautiful site.

Just a boy and his dad going fishing and drinking beer while dinner cooks.

Silly boy!

Breakfast!

Hot tea and coffee on a 38 degree morning.

Extra relaxed.

So tired. Fell soundly asleep after about 5 minutes in the canoe. Stayed this way for an hour.

Good work fishing, mom!

Some picturesque potty time.
The resting post.
Taking a break, leaning on a tree. Hard work packing up camp.

County Fair

We went to the fair after getting home from camp. Abraham and his buddy Jackson had a great time being goofy together. The adults enjoyed crappy fair food and baby Maddy just hung out. The petting zoo was a favorite for Abraham. He loved the baby pig and climbing on the fence to see the geese.
