Water Babies...

Well, it's certainly clear by now that I have a couple of water babies. With the weather being nice, each and every day revolves around water for these two. And I can guarantee if water is involved, I have two very content and excited little ones...

Making friends with the cat. He is very gentle with her and always talks in the highest voice when he greets her...

...a little hug...

Sophie is really into books these days. Give her a pot of water and a book- she's good as gold...

Seattle...

Ray's Japanese teammate, Shinya, flew in to Seattle to spend a week with him and Ryan, who also played for the Lake Stars the first year. We showed Shinya the sights...

Chateau Ste Michelle Winery...

Sol found a family of ducks to follow...

Ryan's mom got the kids a blow up pool for outside...

And we cooked and baked a LOT!!

On the day prior to Shinya's return to Japan, we took a day trip to the San Juan Islands...

A very fun time had by all...

Soup Pot Sunday...

What started as a little bath time outside, turned into priceless moments.

Again, thank you Jen Derby for the outstanding photos...

Sol wanted in to Sophie's soup pot...

So we found him his own little tub and all was peaceful...

Sweet times...

I feel it every time we're here, a sense of being home and at peace here in Eugene. We were able to sneak in a too-short visit, but we filled each moment with full and wonderful memories. We even snuck out to Sweet Cheeks Winery Friday night to take in the best of company, live music, and a warm sunset that made our time almost surreal...

Thank you Jen Derby for the most incredible photography!
