Atticus and the zucchini patch have both been growing at quite a pace...
... but unfortunately for the zucchini, it's time sacrifice for the family, and become bread and brownies. LOTS of bread and brownies.
I grew the one on the right, Trevor grew the one on the left. As I was carrying both of them back into the house, I thought "Huh, this must be what it's like to have twins."
Last weekend we went to Washington for Larry (Trevor's uncle) and Janet's wedding. It was a fun and beautiful event, and I failed to take out my camera even once. But I can give you a written report that Janet was absolutely radiant, and she and Larry can tango with the best of them :)
While we were there, we also had a photo session with Brenda, owner of Picture This! photography and family friend of the Butcharts. Some of you may remember her as the cute blonde who organized Trevor and mine's Washington reception. Anyway, we got some fabulous pictures, and I wanted to show you some of them.

In the middle of puking (he had the flu) "Excuse me! Excuse me!" I may be over-emphasizing politeness.
"You puke on my head?"
"Hello Kitty? Are you there Kitty? Kitty are you hungry, Kitty?"
Mommy: "Should we chase down that trash truck so you can look at it?" Atticus: "DO IT."
Daddy: "Say good-night Mommy" Atticus:"See you tomorrow Mommy!" Daddy: "Say good-night Daddy" Atticus: "See you tomorrow Daddy!" Daddy: "Tell Mommy you love her" Atticus: "See you tomorrow Trash!"
