Birthday Bash

Hollace turned one on August 12. It was a busy time of the summer for us so we weren't able to host a party. But our little family of four did whoop it up in his honor. Also, Hollace eats cake like a champ.

I know it's been awhile, too long for some. I'm not going to make excuses or try to catch up. But rather I'll just start from where we are. Today, here is a look at mornings. 

Anders insisting on feeding Hollace oatmeal. I think thy both loved this. 

Hollace has been using utensils and trying to feed himself with them. Here he is eating the dregs of Anders cereal that he pulled from the counter. 

Anders is WAY into being a superhero every day. Today it was superman. 

Brothers

It's happening! They're playing together. 

Anders insisted on getting up there and holding his brother while he swung. 

Big climber and little climber. 

Hollace LOVES unraveling toilet paper. 

Fierce. 

Hollace has since mastered this ladder and can climb to the top completely unassisted. Anders was super excited to have a top-bunk playmate. 

Everyone gets into the water table. 

Hollace loves this car and Anders was thrilled to give him a push. 

Laid back.

Father's Day

On Ryan's fifth Father's Day we took the kids fishing up on Mt Hood. 

Lunch break. 

Reeling in a fish!

Super proud!

Getting the hook out. 

Haircuts when we got home. 

Typical

I think we're all surprised at the depth of Anders' dispair. This morning his world fell apart because he decided he wanted cereal but had to eat his waffle before getting some.
