At the park with Mom

Visiting Gramps and Uncle Don

On Thursday night we went to visit Gramps and Uncle Don and I had lots of fun exploring the sorroundings and standing up with assistance ... walking is just around the corner I love my Mommy's keys! 

Eating, playing and loving life

Getting the binkie in my mouth is a serious matter
I can't eat the carrot but I love sucking on it
I love "Graduates" in the Sweet Potato flavor. They are my favorite finger food. I smile a lot when I get a few between my fingers!

During our pumpkin class we learned about all the different kind of pumpkins that exist. There are so many of them!

Field Trip to our local "Pumpkin Patch" with our church friends

We really had a great time on Thursday at our local Pumpkin Patch. Brianna and I, along with many other church friends took a tractor ride, pumpkin class, fed some goats, and enjoyed many farm animals. It was fun and a great learning experience!

Brianna's Dedication

We were privileged this weekend to have G'Pa Pierson dedicate Brianna to the Lord. Part of this ceremony is also asking for a commitment from our family, friends and church community to take an active roll in bringing her up in a safe and grace-filled environment. Pastor Alex also took part in the ceremony.

After church we had a wonderful lunch at a park near our house. It was wonderful to be surrounded by so many dear people.

We chose this day so that Ken & Crystal could be with us on the visit from Saipan.

And more friends & Family

Our good friends Ile & Lalo (and their youngest Giovana) visited from Ventura County.

Tuesday on the cruise ... beautiful glacier views

On Wednesday we did some whale watching in Juneau (Alaska's capital). We were very fortunate to see a baby blue whale playing with Mommy for about half an hour. It was unbelievable! God's creation is truly magnificent ...
