Adventures in … Life

The Bine’s latest trick … fish faces.

Well Sabine has been “cruising” a lot lately around chairs and  and it will be any day where she starts to take more than a couple steps. She’s really turning into such a little jokester and it seems like it’s just every 15 minutes or so till she either tries to get you to laugh, or she starts laughing at something. Anyway just a few pictures from today.

My good friend Alec arrived last week for a visit. We haven’t gotten to see him since the summer of 2006. With our time in Kenya and his time in French Guiana, its been hard to find a time to be in the same place. Despite this, Alec and the Bine have become fast friends.

This weekend was a typical rainy PNW weekend. But not looking forward to being cooped up all day we thought we’d take a chance and go for a hike. So we drove out onto the the Mountain Highway loop and started a hike up to Heather Lake. It turned out to be a perfect day for a hike in the forest. The forest canopy cut the direct rain, and being outfitted in gortex jackets everyone was warm and toasty. Sabine was all bundled up in her one piece down suit, rain jacket, and covered by her new rain hood. For more pictures check out: http://www.steudel.org/pictures/thumbnails.php?album=82
