An odyssey of more than 4000 miles

PheW! We all survived the car ride(s) from Milwaukee, WI to Ellensburg, WA to Richland, WA to Sequim, WA and back. Here are some highlights...

Corn. Miles and Miles of Corn. (and some soy)

All seen from the luxury of the backseat with Chaplin and Parents in tow.

Got to see the beautiful Columbia River and the Gorge.

And arrived happy and very ready to play at Aunt Maggie's and Uncle Dustin's

Enjoyed my first limo ride. Sweet!!

Partied down with the relatives at the wedding.

And spent some time with Mom and Dad at the Vineyard.

Saw Uncle Mack and Aunt BB get married AND eat cake!

Made some cool, new friends.

Enjoyed the view from the Grandparent's deck.

Met my Uncle Jeff.

And discovered the blackberry patch with a little help from Mom.

And saw much more corn on the way home.

Look what I can do now...

Yep, I can stand now, as long as there are window ledges to hold onto.

Here I am enjoying a dip in the pool.

A nice family portrait.

Watch out everyone, it's a showdown.

It was nice to see Grandpa Meyler (and Grandma), if just for one day.

Las caras de Jano

"Jano" is the Spanish translation of Janus - the Roman god that is typically represented with two faces. Looking at my two faces below, you might be surprised at the extremes to which I am enjoying life.


All I want for Christmas are my two front teeth, my two front teeth...

The dashing Jack Eliot at your service.

The grass is greener...

Outside = Happy

Gotcha

Yummy

And for those of you who haven't heard, I am now crawling!!

Look out Chaplin!

Oh Yeah Baby...Teeth!

Look at my spiffy, new tooth! I've got one up top too, it's just harder to capture.
I love having teeth! Now I can eat cheerios and bite Mom and Dad!

Here I am with Mom - sharing a moment in the sun after a nice meal!

Awaiting the Wisconsin Warmth...

Greetings and Salutations

I sure hope you have all been eating as well as I have. I've been enjoying green beans, carrots, pear, squash, peach, oatmeal (mmmm) and my favorite - banana!

We just got back from Easter Holiday so we hope to have some more pictures up before you know it. I had a great time at grandma and grandpa Meyler's place EVEN IF Kentucky was just as cold as Wisconsin. For now, mom and I say have a GREAT DAY!

Visit from Uncle Mack and Aunt Bernadette

Here I am enjoying a visit with my Uncle Mack... he said I was pretty cool - but I was supposed to keep that a secret.

It was nice to meet Bernadette - who will be joining the family in July. She can help me become quadrilingual - bring on the Tagalog!!

Woo Hoo!! I love putting my feet in my mouth. They taste greeeaat!

Here I am, hanging out with my pops in our skivies.

Where's Chaplin? I think he learned this from me.

Here he is. He's going to have to share that ball with me.

Adios for now - I'll be back with pictures of Uncle Mack and Bernadette soon.

MIA

Sorry - we've been absent for while. Mom and Dad have been busy with the start of the semester and I've been trying to master my new skill of eating bananas and applesauce.
I'm still not so sure about that applesauce, but bananas ROCK!!
My new high chair is sweet

Where's Jack?

Here I am!

Oh , you found me.
Take my picture again!!

pasándolo bien con la familia

The holidays have come and gone and I've got some cool pictures to share...

¡ FELIZ 2007 !

Below I'm with my parents (padres), my grandparents (abuelos) and my great-grandmother (bisabuela). I had a great time meeting many new people and sharing laughs with all. Hope we'll see each other before too long!!

Christmas Eve and I'm ready for Santa Claus

Below, Chaplin is enjoying a Christmas treat and great-grandma is starting Christmas morning with a good cup o' joe. Think any of those presents will make it back to Wisconsin with me???


Suffice it to say that although I've grown, I can still fit in a stocking... but I'm not going to try.


Happy grandparents are ready to send us off on our roadtrip home.

NO, I wasn't allowed to drive - not even sit up front while the car was running, but pitstops sure were fun. Chaplin got to run around and I had a good meal. My parents, however, stayed away from the gas station hotdogs. Smart.

Back in the car, Chaplin and I curled up for another couple of hundred miles. Note that we have a safe GRACO Snugride car seat and made it home just fine.

Back at home we are enjoying some playtime before school starts. Hope all are well!!!
