First Halloween

For obvious reasons we did not Trick-R-Treat this year. But..... we did go to the pumpkin patch, carve a pumpkin and wore our first Halloween costume. Our costume was an adorable monkey (thank you Aunt Julie). Can't wait until next year, when he is old enough to take out and enjoy it all !

First Trip on the Beach

While house hunting along the Oregon coast, we took Max for his first trip out onto the sand (in Rockaway Beach). I'm not sure if he was too impressed, but it was fun none the less. Hazel always loves playing on the sand.....

Swimming Classes

In September, while staying at my sisters (waiting for Dave to get back from AK so we could move to the coast), Max started swimming lessons. We took parent/child classess at the McMinnville public pool and he LOVED it. This is definately something we will continue to pursue thru his childhood.

Last pictures in Alaska for 2011

Here's some pictures of our last week in Alaska as a family. Great summer!!

Max and Zophia

Max finally met his future girlfried, Zophia Zaleski. She's 5 weeks old in this video and cuter than a bugs ear. They will be the best of "summer time" friends.

Max and First King Salmon

I wanted to post this earlier. Now that I'm back to Oregon, thought I would go ahead and post it. He's destined to be a fisherman!!!
