Ian's First Father's Day

Fun with Dad during a quick pit stop.

We had a really lovely Father's Day. Our friends Kristen and Cameron invited us out to their vacation home in Sunriver and spoiled us with good food and company.

Cruising by Smith Rock

While the drive from Portland to Sunriver is longish, the landscape is so beautiful that time passes quickly.

Mt. Jefferson in the distance.

Gussie loved hanging with big kids Gavin and Maryn.

After a yummy Father's Day breakfast, Cameron took us out on his drift boat on a lazy section of the Deschutes.

The guys fished, but no bites.

Augusta enjoyed her first boating experience.

No matter where you looked you had a nice view.

Mt. Bachelor emerging from the clouds.

Another great vista outside of Maupin on our drive home. 

...

Also, I could resist including a few of my favorite photos of Ian with Augusta. She's a lucky girl to have such a good Dad!

The very first time Ian held Augusta!

  

Ian's budding soccer-watching companion (if only she could stay awake).

Ian is a very patient Dad.

You're the best Ian! We love you!

Happy Caturday!

Loved this brief history of cats at the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC.

Wide Awake Augusta

Little missy is currently going through a phase where she thinks that bedtime is party time. Even though we know she is tired, when we lay her down in her crib, her eyes pop open and she is ready to play. It's both really frustrating and really adorable. But, seriously Augusta, go to sleep.

In other news she is a crawling machine, has gotten all four of her upper teeth, and at our well baby check up a few days ago weighed in at 16 lb 3oz  and was 28 3/4 inches tall. I can't believe how fast she is growing!
