Last spring in Riverton, we had a robin build her nest on our back porch with 3 little babies successfully hatched. 
This year we have guest that have moved in to our "Wyoming" birdhouse that was a going away gift from my friend, Nicole's dad.
I think we have a fisherman on our hands! Dominic and I went to the Kids Fishing Day sponsored by Spokane County and he got to catch 3 fish. We have promised that we will go to White Elephant and get him a tackle box and everything he needs to do some fishing this summer. 
On Mother's day we enjoyed being out in the yard and Dom actually got to eat on the deck which is one of his favorite things. Evan enjoyed his first experience with power equipment!
What a crack-up to see how Evan has changed from Kindergarten to now. I had him looking just right for the Kindergarten picture and then at the last second, his coach yanked up his shorts for him, how nice! Now he has his own opinions about how he should look, thus the long hair. My mantra, pick and choose those battles!
I took this photo last weekend down at Alki beach in Seattle. It just seems like I have so many memories from this little spot on the earth. When I was in college and visited my cousin Doug in Seattle, he and his friend Dave took me and my friend, Kiersten down to Alki at night. That was the first time I had every been there. When I moved out to Seattle in 1992 and lived with cousin Doug, I remember walking and running down at Alki in the summertime. When I met Mel, he was living just four blocks away from the beach and he introduced me to Pegasus Pizza. We took my dad out to eat there when Dad met Mel for the first time. When Mel and I were first married we lived on Beach drive just around the curve from the light house. We would walk over to the Alki Cafe on Saturday mornings which was also a favorite thing to do when anyone visited us. I also remember when I got pregnant with Evan while we lived there and I was so sickened my the smell of the seaweed on summer mornings! Even after we moved to our house in Burien we would drive up to have Fish N Chips at Sunfish. The day Dominic was born we went walking in the morning down at the beach and ate breakfast at the Alki Cafe.
I'm so glad that we can visit this place and revisit these memories while at the same time create new ones!
