Happy Birthday Baby Boy!

Nolan turned one today! My, how time has flown by. Both Quinn and Nolan were excited to have a birthday party, though I think Quinn was the more excited of the two.

We attempted to take a family photo. Here are some of the results....

 For old times sake, here are a few pictures of Nolan a year ago!

Burlington Childrens Museum

Here are some photos from a trip to the Burlington Childrens Museum in mid-January. It's like a mini-Portland museum and what we all expected when they built a new museum in Bellingham. Sadly, this isn't what we got so we have to drive down to Burlington for the full hands-on experience. It's in the mall but you would never know it once you're inside the museum. The kids love it!

All of the 3 1/2 year olds liked the baby area, too.

Forts

Back in December, Rich made Quinn a fort using boxes from our new dining and entry lights. We were about to dismantle and recycle the fort when Nolan discovered it. Rich captured his first foray into it.

The boys love to pull pots out of the kitchen cabinets and play hide and seek.
