Family Ties

So we have been keeping fairly busy these past few weeks. We have been doing quite a bit with family, which has been fun. My cousin and his wife were here for a few weeks. We went on a hike to Punchbowl Falls with them. It was really pretty. I have lived here in Oregon all my life and have gone to very few places in the Gorge. My brother-in-law Bill (Rheanne's husband) was baptized the 26th of July. It was a really neat experience. My Aunt and Uncle came and we had a big family gathering to celebrate Bill's baptism and family being in town. Madilyn is walking more than crawling. It is funny because people are like, "You don't want her walking, she will get into more things." She still gets into just as much as she did when she was crawling. She is starting to learn some more words. She is learning to say "please", and she knows the sign for "more". We want to teach her some sign language because she is starting to get frustrated when we don't know what she wants. We have found an apartment. It is a 2 bed, 2 bath and it is a little over 1,000 square feet. Just a little (actually a lot) bigger than our old 630 square foot apartment. It will be about a 20 minute or so bus ride for Anton up to OHSU. We move on August 3oth, yay! Anton starts school on the 25th, boo!
