a few cold activities

porter finally looking at something other than our pumpkin, he must be making a jack-o-lantern impression

this is last night, porter was hypnotized.


A cold rainy hike, jeff in full beard

Another really cold hike a few weeks ago in Priest River, we had to cut this one short out of fear that porter's nose would fall off. he also wouldn't stop licking his carrier, he was soaked through from drool by the end.

Skiing at Home

This is last nights outing: We left home at 5:30, fed Porter on the Lake, went water skiing with this scenery, chatted with a friend (we live in a small town so they are all friends or relatives), then were in the house by 7:30. I will brag more later-


I think Porter is finally used to the boating experience.


This is one of the ways we stow him, yes, we belong in North Idaho.

Glacier Natl Park

We went to meet Grandpa and to waterski, we have tons of gorgeous pictures but I don't have enough time to post too many.


Jeff on Lake McDonald, we had amazing weather! I think God heard my prayers since our last camping trip was a bit cold for Porter and me.


Porter having fun in the tent, he slept the longest increments ever in his life during the nights. I am tempted to set a tent up in the living room so we can keep the streak going.



This is the last day of our camping trip, we did not want to go home.

1 month

This is a picture of Porter today before we came to the library. I really tried to catch him smiling, but this was the best performance I could get--I know his eye looks a bit weird, he doesn't always look like that.
see.

Bath time.

We went to a music festival this weekend and Jeff put 6 month old pants on him by mistake, they actually fit in length. So he wore 6 month size khaki's to church on Sunday too. I am amazed at how fast he is growing and how strong he is getting.
