We've had very pleasant weather this late spring and early summer. We even had a heat wave (into the 90s) at the very end of Spring.
Charlotte is now seven months old, and Audrey is closing in on officially being two and a half. Audrey is definitely acting "two", throwing tantrums about every little thing. But that's entirely appropriate for her age. Charlotte is really taking to "solid" food and is starting to show signs of wanting to scoot on the floor. Audrey was never one to put everything in her mouth, but Charlotte is making up for that. They are both completely adorable. Carol and I stare at them when they are sleeping and look at each other and acknowledge how very lucky we are.
We took a little 2-day midweek vacation to attend our friends' Jeremy and Jill's wedding in beautiful Mazama (eastern side of the Cascade Mountains). Audrey stayed with Grandma and Grandpa and Charlotte came with us. It was a nice road trip. I rode my bike back over the North Cascades Highway the day after the wedding; Carol left Mazama three hours after me and picked me up where she caught up to me (at Diablo). So I got in about 55 miles with a couple of mountain passes. There are no trucks allowed on that road and wide shoulders, so it is a really enjoyable bike ride. I had several times when there were no cars in sight or earshot and all I could hear were the birds and waterfalls and the hum of my tires.
Not sure what we'll do for the 4th (today). Maybe we'll put the girls in the stroller and walk a mile or so to the overlook where we could see the big fireworks over the Seattle waterfront.
