Jeffery is growing up to be quite a bit like his older brother - they both love cars!

Jeffery is learning what it means to be the third - he has had to take on some responsabilities earlier than Jacob or Grace did. Here he is feeding himself with a spoon at 8 months.

Summer in New York

There are so many new places for us to explore in our new home. Here are a few photos of some of the things we did and places we saw over the summer.

Niagra Falls

Berry Picking

Swinging and playing in the yard

Our trip to the castles on the St. Lawrence River in Alexandria Bay.

The Move

We determined that driving our stuff in a U-haul across the country with three kids was not in our best interest. Since one of Ryan's classmates from the University of Washington was also moving to Rochester to begin residency with Ryan, we decided to share a full ABF trailer. 29 feet of semi trailer may sound like a lot, however between the two families, there are a total of 8 kids and Ryan's classmate owned a house during dental school. Needless to say, both families had to get rid of a substatial amount of stuff in order to make it all fit.

We said goodbye to our Seattle appartment and to many wonderful friends - We really loved our time in Seattle.
