It’s been a month? Jeez, for what is supposed to be a weekly posting I sure have been lax. Having a new baby is no excuse… Let’s get to it. There was another dance competition this summer. This was across Lake Washington in Bellevue and would be Dela’s first feis (pronounced “fesh”) outside of the…

The little guy got so tuckered out just being carried around sometimes. Sometimes he was so tired he couldn’t even finish his lunch….
Alright, so it’s actually Saturday, and I haven’t posted anything since we started our vacation, and these pictures aren’t even of us on vacation, but I wanted to get these posted and out of the way so I can start with the vacation pictures proper without this hanging over my head.
