Easter Weekend

Julie's dad and his wife made a trip up for the weekend. We spent Saturday hanging at the beach on one of the few beautiful days we have had lately. Mom has finely relented in allowing Micah some ice cream under the guise of much needed weight gain. As such, Micah must learn the finer points of eating from a cone, including small licks to make the cone last as long as possible.

Hope everybody's Easter is full of the joy that can only come from knowing Christ has risen indeed.

Beach Combing

Not the Red Sea, but our little slice of the Pacific is good enough. The weather got nice enough during winter (a rarity in the Pacific NW) for Micah, Julie and I to go to Owen's Beach on Puget Sound. You can clearly see by our atire that nice in the PNW is not quite like nice in other parts of the Pacific Rim. We did se a guy swimming though with a water temp. of about 40 Fahrenheit, I guess he figured he needed to get in his swimming when it was sunny.
Micah is getting braver about heading toward the water and evey took a wave over the shoes. Additionally, we are trying to get him to throw rocks into the ocean, but every effort just ended up with him licking the dirt off of it.
