Henry takes a dip

Somebody is pretty excited to be at the pool for his first swim class.  Henry and his pal Isaac signed up together for 'Angelfish' where you introduce the kiddos to the pool. 

One of these boys is going to chase down Phelps ;)

Erin and Marilynn with the boys doing laps in the "current pool." 

They both loved the water and were splashing and laughing the whole time. 

Using the balls to pratice back floats.

Chasing the ball while dipping them in and out of the water.

Class is out... snack time!  Henry was a good student and loved his time in the water with Mom.

That's a wrap.  See you next time. 

Another day at work

Getting ready to weld the cap on an 18 inch pipe for Emanuel Hospital's chilled water system. 

 Working in the shop out of the elements is not a bad deal :) 

Laying down the "cover pass" on the pipe. 

Can't wait for this years Boletes!! Not a bad haul for a couple hours in the woods!! If the grins don't convey it, we are pretty excited with ourselves and our mushrooms.

Henry at 7 Months

Yesterday Henry turned 7 months old...where does the time go?

Henry is ALMOST sitting up by himself, and ALMOST crawling.  He has 4 teeth, but you don't see the top 'fangs' very often.

Yesterday we headed downtown for Dim Sum and a stroll on the Waterfront, where the cherry trees are in bloom.

The famous Made in Oregon sign.

Our little garden gnome taking a bath.
