Caitlin and Omi

Although it may have taken a little while, Caitlin became quite fond of Omi. Caitlin enjoyed hide and seek, swinging, playing, and cuddling. They had a great time with each others company. We also appreciated the time we were able to spend with Omi, but were happiest to watch Caitlin get to know her great grand mother.

College Friends

We had a wonderful visit in New Jersey with our friends. Caitlin enjoyed playing with all the kids where for once she was not the youngest. Kim and I had a wonderful time reuniting with such good friends. We look forward to seeing everyone again, hopefully sooner than later.

Off to the Atlantic

Caitlin visited both the Pacific and the Atlantic this summer. We made the drive to the coast of Rhode Island, but Caitlin slept through almost all of the drive. We were able to spend time with Jen, Lee and Jen's family. It was a very fun day at the beach. Caitlin ate sand and wanted my Coke Zero. She enjoyed watching the Ocean bury her legs under water. The party was great with plenty of food, of which I ate too much. We wish Jen and Lee the best, and look forward to the wedding next summer.

Swim time

Caitlin was able to play in the wading pool several times. Like the entire trip, Caitlin had many spectators during swim time. It seemed like people would show up out of thin air to watch Caitlin splash around.

Caitlin and Chris

Caitlin had a wonderful time playing with Uncle Chris over the few weeks. That time included playing with balloons, playing with toys, going to New York City, walking around his condo, and many other activities.

Our trip to Connecticut

The next few post will be about our recent trip to Connecticut. Sadly, I had to stay home for half a week alone while Kim and Caitlin went to visit Grandma and Grandpa. I am not sure exactly what activities took place, but from the photos it looks like everyone had a great time. I do know that Kim had a birthday celebration which sounded like a lot of fun.

Visit from L.A. family

Again I am sorry for the delay in posting. We are now back in Spokane for a while. We had a great visit from L.A. family. We were very happy that Caitlin recognized everyone even out of the normal context. We had a great time including a trip to a waterpark, minature golf with back to back holes in one off a wall, and homemade ice cream. It was a great visit.
