Closing out 2007 (part 1)

In honor of K & S safely returning from Germany it seemed like a good time to run out another post. The post-christmas rush has left us blogpostless for a while so let's pick up where we left off.

From our Christmas in Eberstadt we went on to Seattle in the western US (a distance of 5100 miles/8200 km) to meet up with Uncle Chris and Grandma Betsy.


Here we see the culture offerings of Seattle in the sculpture garden downtown. This is Richard Serra's Wake from 2004. Very impressive. But the trip to the west coast really centered around our time out in the Olympic National Park, which we'll get to next time.

One other note, though. Samuel really started his work on sitting on his own. We see him here in one of his very first moments "sitting" without help, by which we mean leaning forward on his arms in a position that his father is far too inflexible to imitate (notice where Samuel's feet are!)

Of course, he didn't hold it all that long.



And just for laughs, a few old quicktime movies from earlier in December 07.
