We’re slowly resurfacing and wading through the past few months of pictures, we’re up to May now (yeah, Ray). Here are some pictures from our visit to Cannon Beach and Mother’s Day in Salem.

May Days
Reaching
Zoë has learned to reach out with one arm. She pet our Nico, our kitty, for the first time this morning. I hope Nico and Poppy are ready for the next few years of “petting”!
Zoë Swings and More
Zoë loves to swing with Mommy, but her new favorite game is swinging all by herself. Given the heat wave hitting us in Portland, we’ve taken to early morning walks to the local park (coffee in hand, of course). Zoë is also learning to swim these days. She’s already kicking like a froggy and holding her breath under water. Ray and I are attempting to keep up.
Swinging
Planing at the park by our house. We’re off to Zoë’s first swimming lessons this afternoon.
Zoë and Skyler
This past weekend we visited Steven, Michelle, Alex, and Skyler near Yachats, Oregon. They were sweethearts and babysat Zoë for the night, so we could stay at the lighthouse! We had a fabulous time. Thanks, guys!
Good Morning from Zoë!
Every morning Z likes to spend a half hour birdwatching and trying to form complete words.
Funny Evian Commercial
This is just too funny, I had to share.
Grassy Saturday
Kandace and Zoë spending time together in the back yard, on the grass. This was filmed earlier today, on our point-and-shoot camera. Video made with iMovie on the MacBook Pro.
You can also see a much better quality version here, as usual.
Father's Day
We spent father’s day on the Oregon coast this year. Super relaxing – long walks, ocean sounds, reading, cuddling with Zoë. Check out our pics!
