A few more pictures from Chelan, courtesy of Alec's mama. = )

Still debating as to whether or not you can tell he has his fingers digging into my ribs at this point...

However, this is our other option...

Alec, him mom (Sharolyn) and April

Alec with Howard and Pearl Tisher

Alec and I, Mom and Dad, and Marjorie

The Portland/Vancouver crowd minus Alec and I - I was very busy holding Baby Duncan and missed out. They decided that Alec couldn't be in the picture without his better half...knowing him, he wasn't terribly upset about such a decision!

Until next time... = )

One more picture...my 1st meeting with little Duncan DeOliveira at Chelan. His big sister, his mommy and his daddy have all been my good buddies, so I'm pretty certain he and I are destined to be too.

It 'twas the eve before school was out and all through the house...Miss Huddle was grinning and cheering with glee. (She also can't rhyme, but isn't terribly concerned about such things right now, because she is done with report cards!) Seemed like as good as time as any to quickly most a few pictures from the last couple of months. Without further ado, a random sampling!

My little porch "garden" = )

The "girls" - it had been awhile since we'd been together, and the photographer was having a hard time getting us to stop talking...

We did finally manage to get our act together!

Alec and one tired looking teacher at Chelan

Ashlee's graduation party - Jeff and Nikki and adorable boys, Tia, Ashlee, Krindee and I

Rian, Krindee, Emily (on my lap), Ermina and I - Rian and the little girls were singing hymns in Swahili, while Krindee and I sang the same one in English = )

Matt's current ride - pulling up to Grampa's house on Mother's Day! = )
