Bike Ride Pictures

Hello all! So I finallly got Peter's first bike ride photos up! You should all be sooo proud considering the fact that I've been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to get ready for our trip. It's crazy how I went from packing for myself to having to pack for 3 people!! Men don't seem to pack for themselves and when they do, their suitcase is usually a garbage bag of dirty laundry. I really didn't want Ben wearing a wrinkled t-shirt and jeans to the rehearsal luncheon in Vancouver, so I forged ahead like always and packed for my husband. Isn't life grand? :) Anyways, Grandpa Punky and Grandma Berta will be on the road in a few hours to come and stay over night and then take Peter in the morming. We are looking forward to our trip, but we're starting to get scared of missing Peter. But I'm sure we'll still manage to have fun. Enough rambling from me....Picture 1) Peter and Daddy revved up for the bike ride. 2) Peter watching Daddy intently as he gets strapped in. He always likes to make sure that Dad is doing it right. 3) Close-up of the cutest baby in the whole world! (Not a baby anymore being 13 months old, I suppose) 4) On your mark, get set, GO! 5) The "after" picture...he doesn't seem upset to me! 6) Peter trying to put a bucket on his head...7) and he succeeds! Bye for now and we'll be back on in a few weeks to update you and give you some awesome sights from Seattle, Vancouver and Portland!

Trip to WA

Well everyone, I'm a slacker because I haven't gotten any bike ride pictures up...And they won't be going up anytime soon because we're going on vacation! Tomorrow night after Peter goes to bed (and when Grandpa Punky and Grandma Berta arrive to drive Peter to EGF), Ben and I will be venturing to Minneapolis and catching a flight early on Wednesday morning. We are in the wedding of our friends Rick and Brittany. Ben is the Best Man and I am a bridesmaid. The wedding will be on Sunday, June 25th which just happens to be Ben's birthday! They are going to have a special birthday cake for Ben at the reception (ssshhhhhh!!! That part is a surprise!) We are flying into Seattle but the wedding is in Vancouver. When we're done with all the wedding festivities Ben and I will be spending some time ALONE in Seattle. We currently have reservations to have lunch at the Space Needle for Tuesday, June 27tth. We also want to check out the fish market and downtown art galleries. The more I learn about Seattle via the internet, the more excited that I get to sight see there! But yes, I'm excited about the wedding too. We will be flying through the night on Wednesday/Thursday and we'll be arriving back in Minneapolis around 6am on the 29th of June. We will miss Peter terribly but we are thrilled to spend some time with friends and alone. We're lucky to be having a second honeymoon in our second year of marriage! When we get back we'll fill you all in and add some awesome pictures, I PROMISE! Please pray for our safe travels (and that Peter is good for Granpa and Grandma).
