Moshi, the new puppy!

Moshi is a 9 week old black female puppy who is half German Sheppard and half retriever. We picked her up at the Twisp Saturday Market last weekend, from a box full of puppies who needed homes. That saved us a trip to the pound in Wenatchee, so it must have been destiny! Quin and Moshi are extremely cute together, but we'll let the pictures do the talking there...







Easter

My cousins the Ralstons came out to visit over Easter Weekend. We had some fresh snow and wild spring weather to add to the craziness of 4 boys running around. There was lots of fun to be had sledding, skiing, eating tacos and ham, and mountain biking. We had a big Easter Egg hunt at our friends the Kogut's on Studhorse Mountain near Winthrop. Thanks for the great time guys!




Sun Valley Magic

We got lucky and got to spend a quick weekend in Sun Valley with Grandma P and Grandpa M. We had great weather, great skiing, fun skating (ice and nordic), and just a plum good ol' time. It was great seeing Uncle Greg and the Taylors as well.




Saint Patrick's Day

I got all dolled up for Saint Patrick's Day, although I don't think Lederhosen are Irish style. My dad used to wear this particular pair when he was my age! Thanks Cami A., and happy birthday Grandma P!



Juliet!

On her way to Costa Rica - My friend Juliet stopped by to drop off the awesome green sweater she'd been knitting for me. Have a great trip Juliet!

Marching Like a Lion

March has turned out to be Spring this year! We've been enjoying many warm sunny days outside, listening to the squirrels and the birds, playing with the neighbor's chickens, and planning our new irrigation system and this coming season's garden. I'm super into throwing rocks, playing with sticks, jumping off of stuff, and finding creative ways to get really dirty. Inside I'm into playing instruments (guitar, harmonica, drums...), listening and dancing to music, and reading all my great books with mommy and daddy. My sign language skills are improving by the day, and I can even say a few words. We're all really excited that the snow is out of the yard so we can play outside now. This will be a summer of developing my outdoor skills as last year I could barely get around on my own when the snow flew.
