Joy all around!

About to pop! Elliott's going to be a big brother!

Missy Ramaker came over to take some maternity pictures... Rajah joined us on this one.

This was 5 days before Harrison was born.

Elliott turns 2 years old!

Elliott turned 2 on March 31, 2009! He enjoys doing most anything outside and bathtime is probably his favorite activity inside (see pictures below).

Less than 5 months until I'm a big brother!

Elliott and I went on the train to Montour to pick up some pumpkins. The weather was beautiful and we had a great time with the Lunns.Elliott is now 19 months old and has plenty of smiles to share.

Juneau, AK with the Machakos Family

Mendenhall Glacier
Our trip to Juneau, Alaska was absolutely fabulous! We had a wonderful time with Jeff, Julie, Noah (10) and Seth (8). Everywhere you look in Juneau there is a fabulous view. We had great weather while we were there and enjoyed some type of adventure everyday... sometimes several in a day. The smiles on our faces will surely relay the great time we had!

Elliott definitely had plenty to smile about! He loves the outdoors and found plenty of bugs to look at in the grass. He had a fabulous time digging and throwing sand on the beach too.
more laughs!

West Glacier Hike
Julie and I went on several runs. Absolutely fabulous to have a running partner and great trail runs all throughout the mountains. We also did a run called Only Fools Run at Midnight with Noah and Seth. We had a great time!
The tram goes from downtown Juneau up 1800 feet to Mount Roberts.
Elliott was having a great time watching a paraglider and being on top of the mtn!
Great view looking northwest from ontop of Mount Roberts. You can see the Gasteneau Channel, part of Auke Bay, Mount McGinnis and Stroller Whites (at least I think so...).
Enjoying the view and hike :).
Hiking down.
Elliott was not a fan of the mustache we found and thought would be funny for him to wear :).
Seth and Noah playing at Eagle Beach. The Chilkat range is in the background.
Perseverance trail starts right in downtown Juneau.
The Chilkat Range. Tyson and I went on a wonderful paddle around Benjamin Island and North Island. We saw several bald eagles, sea lions, spouting whales and other birds.

Noah and Seth were terrific older brothers for Elliott and had plenty of fun in the front yard.

Elliott charmed the waitress, as usual.
The whole gang eating at DocWaters. :)
Elliott cruising in the Cozy Coupe. :)
A great rainy hike at Eagle Crest, Juneau's ski resort.
A paddle near the Mendenhall Glacier. The water was just a bit cold!
Rafting the Mendenhall River! Did I say COLD water?
Glacier water was a bit startling on the few class 3 rapids.
Tyson's first King of the trip!
Tyson realed in the HOG... 40 inches long and over 35 pounds. So much bigger than Elliott!
5 more Kings. In total 13 Kings were slain. We came home with a cooler that weighed 78 lbs! Jeff just happens to be the best personal fishing guide we've ever had. And yes, we are hoping for another Alaskan summer trip already!!
Jeff enjoyed his Elliott time. I think Elliott enjoyed his Jeff time too. :) The fourth of July parade in Juneau is no little happening! The parade was 2 hours long!! We had the best seats in the house on El Sombrero's (the best Mexican restaurant) balcony. Both Jeff and Julie have worked at this restaurant in the past and treated us to an amazing meal after hiking the Perseverance Trail.

Fourth of July Festivities include many races. The great part is you get a dollar for participating... and 5 dollars if you win. Seth and I did pretty well ... Seth is wearing the orange sweatshirt in this picture.
Of course the men tried their talents too!
These pictures can only relay an ounce of the fun we had. What a trip! Thanks to the Machakos Family, we had an absolutely great place to stay, perfect guides, great hiking, running, kayaking, fishing, rafting, playing and eating buddies the whole trip! Elliott had been telling us he's missing all of you!
