Camping with the Kiddo

In August, we took a long-awaited camping trip with my parents to Lake of the Woods. This is where us Galbraiths went on vacation every year, and I was majorly looking forward to it. Jesse and I hadn't been camping during our entire marriage! My mom did all of the dirty work this time--meal prep, firewood, planning, etc.--so all we had to worry about was getting there.

All in all, it was really fun. Danny wanted to be on the ground the whole time, which was a little frustrating for him, but we had lots of people to keep him busy. We went on a nice hike and ate junk. FYI, Hostess pies are not what they used to be.  Also, pregnant camping is tiring.

Danny was pretty darn happy with his seat.

July

July was a really fun month. Annie came to visit, which is always cause for celebration. We rafted the Rogue with Jesse's mom and brother, went to the fair and rode a camel, had birthday dinner with Becca and Chrystal at Mom's house, and ate blackberries, crab, salmon, and Chinese food.

Not a super flattering picture. Of the camel.

I should be showering.

Nap time is when one gets things done. One is blogging and hoping one's child doesn't wake up before one gets to showering.

Danny updates:

Danny is now crawling like a mad baby. Just a few days ago he started pulling up on couches. He's now on to coffee tables, the pot rack, and his mama's legs while she's trying to reorganize the kitchen cupboards.

He loves spaghetti, yogurt, crackers, bananas, and ice cream (we're good parents).

Danny loves his great grandparents, his grandparents, his daddy, the landlord, the grocery store cashiers, any other cashiers, and Mickey Mouse.

He doesn't like cottage cheese or mariachi bands.

Spur of the Moment

The other day, we put out the message that we were playing baseball. We ended up with a mixture of new friends and old. We love summer!

We had two injuries: Jesse took a grounder to the ankle, but had to be tough because his little brother then twisted his ankle and had to be carried off the field. Still, a fun time was had by all.

Pancake breakfast at church. Danny was...sneezing?

Grandmothers are beautiful. But mine is especially.
