Priest Lake '10: An update of recent happenings.


* Mike & Harrison on the kayak *


* Third trimester! 28 Weeks (whoa) & Baby Boy is making his presence much more known *


* Reese *


* Haidyn helped me lay out the pieces for Baby Boy's quilt & had lots of opinions on what should go where *


* So happy with how the 11 different fabrics look together *


* Harrison: Take a picture of my muscles!! *


* Mike smitten by Baby Reese *


* Hudson spots a boat *


* One missed flight + one day later, he finally arrived! Happy *


* Grandma takes the grandkids on lots & lots of kayak rides, singing the paddling song as they go *


* Haidyn's first trip in the open water *

One of the funniest things that has happened was Harrison (4) asking me lots of questions about Baby Boy, including how I was going to get him out. Tara quickly came to the rescue & said At the hospital! The doctor will take him out! Of course. While I was totally flustered, Tara of course completely satisfied her curious son with her simple, no-nonsense & totally true response. Phew. 

I've had two huckleberry shakes since I got here. One at The Ram (a little burger joint on the way up to the lake - not the finest establishment, but they always have huckleberries), & one at Indian Creek down on the lake yesterday. Yum. I made Kelsey's Fudge Brownies (she's a genius) our first night at the cabin. Everyone loved them. And Christopher made his lemon bars (the best) the other night, with a huckleberry sauce over the top. I need to compile all of our favorite recipes & put them up on Wire Whisk when I'm back. We've eaten very, very well. And slept well. And just relaxed. It's nice.

huckleberry shakes sound like something i could really get into. though i've never had one, i'm now craving one something fierce. and also, these are just the most beautiful, peaceful pictures. i'd like a sunset over water, please.

Lindsey, I use three - the 24-70mm f/2.8L, 70-200mm f/2.8L & a 50mm f/1.4. All Canon, on my 5D Mark II. I've used all three lenses pretty regularly this week. Its nice to having to CARRY them. :)

Noelle - I'll send Erin home with a jar of huckleberry jam for you for when you guys run together this fall. Huckleberries are heaven!

Seriously, I'm showing Devin your blog for reasons we need to own a "lake home" someday. These look so so relaxing and just good times for a family.
