In April we traveled to the east side of the Cascades to attend the wedding of Miryha Gould (our good friend and fellow Geology major from Central Washington University) and Eric Runnerstrom. The wedding was held at the Chateau Faire Le Pont Winery in Wenatchee, WA on April 27th, 2008. It was a beautiful wedding and lots of fun to catch up with old friends.
Here we are with the bride and groom and the Barson's...
The August Family...
Mamma and Claire...
We also got to spend the weekend with the Barson's in the Bavarian Village of Leavenworth, WA. The weather was nice so Jenn and I and the kids strolled around town and down to the Wenatchee River while John and Michael played 18 holes at the Icicle Creek Golf Course.

Misc. March-April 2008
Here are a few random photos of Claire from March to April 2008, from about 7 to 9 months old. She is obviously the best thing that has happened to us, as you can probably tell from the disproportionate number of Claire-only photos on our blog, but oh well, no one wants to see us anyway!!! Ha Ha! Here are the many faces of Claire...
Claire in her adorable Easter dress from Auntie Angie and Auntie Kendra.
She has finally out-grown this red hoodie but I used to love her in it. This is back when hanging out in the high-chair playing with toys was still cool. My how we miss those days!
Cute crawler...
Giving her "what-you-talkin'-bout-Willis" shifty side-eye look.
Here is a classic Claire super-happy-almost-crazy look, just before she mauled her good friend Olivia...
Just chillin' in her car that the Barson's let us borrow. Claire loves all of the toys and music.
Claire enjoys helping out with the laundry. It can take hours (or sometimes days, but who's counting anyway!) to get everything folded and put away because she loves pulling everything out of the basket and dragging it across the room or destroying the freshly folded piles within reach.
Claire has always had a great appetite. We consider ourselves very lucky. Beginning different solid foods is always fun. Here is fun with cottage cheese.
Bath-time cutie! Bath-time is one of Claire's favorite things. She loves playing in the water with her toys and filling and emptying cups. She still has the adorable arm rolls, I can never get enough of those babies...
Once Claire started crawling and pulling up on things, nothing was safe anymore, especially shiny silver cameras taunting her. Here she is in full attack mode...
In late April we had a freak snow-storm, right after a gorgeous weekend out on Whidbey Island (see Whidbey Island post). We didn't spend much time out in the snow this winter so Claire didn't quite know what to think. She refused to look at the camera and only wanted to lick the snowflakes from her snowsuit.
Well, there is our baby girl in a nutshell. There are plenty more where those came from so stay tuned!

Whidbey Island
We took Claire on her first hiking trip out to Whidbey Island. We had a great time and Claire enjoyed cruising around in her new backpack. We walked for a couple of miles on a trail that ran along the coast and enjoyed one of the few sunny weekends we've had this spring. Someone enjoyed the pebble beach a little too much, mmmm those warm beach rocks taste so good. Argos got to stretch his 3" legs a bit as well.
Much to mommy's dismay we also did a little scrambling up rock faces together.
