4 months & 2 years!

This week I had to take both Oliver and William for their well child check-ups. Pippa also came along because she loves to go to the doctors, plus she's too young to stay home alone. They are both looking healthy and happy, with William weighing in at a modest 29lbs and height at 34.5 inches (2' 10.5") and Oliver at 18lb 8oz and 25.6 inches. William only needed 1 shot and took it like a man with barely a cry. Oliver had 4. He also only cried for about 10 seconds. How quickly they forget! While we were there, Pippa and Will got their flu mist (inhaled flu shot!). We're now good until the end of October when Oliver needs his 6 month check.

This weekend was also Nick's birthday! We went to the Humane Society to look at the animals and then to the playground. I also made a cake and then we went over to the Johnson's house for dinner (coincidentally, not because it was Nick's birthday!). Pippa and William had so much fun playing with Ginger and Wyatt for 3 hours! They got so tired out.

Today we went to Paulina Creek to see the waterfalls, but mostly ended up playing in the shallow water. Pippa and William both love that; Pippa for the splashing and Will for the rock throwing opportunities. We saw horses, a few other people and a dog all playing in and drinking the water.

Roll on next weekend! There are so many adventures to be had in Oregon. I love this state!

Daddy's birthday carrot cake. Thanks to Martha S for the recipe!

William throwing a rock!

He likes to find the biggest rock he can pick up to throw in the water.

Or log. Whatever!
