Hiking, Pulling to Standing, and More!

Whew! M-L here. Lots of things have been going on-- it's time to update!


It's a bit old, but here's a shot of me with the altar arrangement  I made at the start of June for altar guild. I worked alongside another church member and tried to copy what she did; it turned out pretty well, I think! They let me take it home:

I've been getting more and more involved in the life of our church, and it's been immensely satisfying for me.

Then we had our 8th anniversary on June 14th, and with Nana at our place in Richmond (all by herself!) watching the kidlets, we hiked up to the top of Humpback Rock! It's a hike we did all the time when we first started dating-- we figured out it had been 12 years since we'd been back.

We were up high!

Some of the gorgeous mountain laurels along the path back down:

Now on to what you're really here for-- E and S!

The big news with Silas is that he's started pulling up onto his feet, as opposed to just his knees. I actually got a picture of the very first time he ever did this, and here it is!

He looks thoroughly unimpressed, doesn't he? I mean, obviously he knew he could do this-- what's all the kerfluffle about, people?

We had a playdate at E's friend Lily's house, where she borrowed a tutu and had a grand time playing in thr yard.

We also had a shipment of baby gates from Amazon (reference Silas' recent advancement, as described above) and she climbed in the box and covered herself up, declaring that she was a penguin who had come in the mail!

That's about it for now. We're headed to the beach this coming Saturday with the Corner clan, so expect lots  of beachy action in the next update!
