First up, vital stats update: JT weighs 12 pounds and is 23 inches long. So much for all of those cute newborn-size clothes, and we ditched the infant insert in the car seat. We kept saying all week that he just seemed bigger, and sure enough, he is!
This was my 25th consecutive summer that included at least one trip to Banks Lake in eastern Washington… the eleventh for Jim, the second for Slider, and the first for JT! We were disappointed in the weather – rainy and cold – but had fun playing games and spending quality time with Grandpa and Grandma Cole in their warm trailer. We did get a little beach time, but JT stayed on the beach when Jim, Slider, and I went swimming in the 70 degree water (brr!).

Slider decided to spoon Jim in the tent…

Two of our friends had babies last Saturday! Welcome to Liv Agedal and Hallie Lay. The picture below is of Liv and her dad Einar with Jim and JT. The funny thing is that Liv weighed exactly the same weight as JT when she was born and only two inches shorter, so you can really tell how much JT has grown in six weeks by this picture.

Oh…JT is growing up fast and is such a cutie! I can\’t wait to meet him. I do miss good old Banks Lake and am still aiming to take Tim there sometime…light show and all. Topper and Abbie get the privilege of sleeping on the bed with us while camping too…last time we went it was getting really cold at night and Abbie had to learn to get in the sleeping bag…tell you what she is a great little warmer on a cold night.Good to see you had some fun camping with your new little one!
