Since Ally's birthday, we've had so many fun things to keep up busy. Ally's uncle Gabe surprised us all and flew home for a week from Maui. He caught strep throat while he was here and was cold most of the trip, but found time to play with Ally just the same. We spent some time hunting for Beach rocks. Then, Ally's uncle Josh (Max) came home from a semester in Uganda. Ally adores both of them and we're so lucky that she gets to spend time with so much family. Just this weekend, Ally's cousins Colton(6), Kaelin(4), Nathan(2+) and Bjorn(10 months) (Jacob & Kristel's kids) came to visit from Colorado. We have a busy week planned with many play dates.

On Saturday, we went to an amazing public park in Lynden. Afterwards, Ally and her friend Sedona enjoyed ice-cream. We got a kick out of watching them eat their ice-cream with spoons.
