Chef Abraham

Abe: I like to help Mommy in the kitchen. I help put the silverware away from the dishwasher, I scoot my stool over to watch her cook and me and Koh both like to crack eggs into the bowl and we're good stirrers too.

Today I was a real chef, and made home-made croutons. I brushed the olive oil onto the bread all by myself and with great flair.

Potty Training lockdown

Koh: We haven't written lately 'cause we're in potty training lockdown. This means until we ditch the diapers there are no video games, no blogging, no tv, no visitors, no talking, no laughing, no fun and the only food we get is a reward when we go to potty. Mom and Dad are doing a full court press on us ...even Grandma is in on it, too. And of course no photos of this toilet game. Abe is doing better than me, he likes wearing those "big boy underwear."

We'll back shortly ...please stand by.

We hiked a big one today: Angel's Rest!

Koh: Mommy was away this weekend, so Uncle Jeff and Dad took us hiking in the Columbia Gorge where they have lots of waterfalls and ferns and Trilliums and steep hills. Ever since we were tiny we've come here and Mom and Dad always carried us in packs.

Look what they did to us when we were only 2 months old!

BUT NOT ANY MORE. Today they carried us up to this heavenly place in the sky then WE HIKED ALL THE WAY BACK to our car ...over 2 miles down this steep 1500 foot hill over rocks that made clinking sounds, next to dangerous cliffs and over a creek with fun waterfalls.

I'm very proud of me, can you tell?
