I'm in a musical metality right now. The other day I got a song by Mike Doughty who is the former lead singer to the 90's group Soul Coughing, anyway the song is titled "Looking at the world from the bottom of the well" off the album Haughty Melonic You can also find it on the Grey's Anatomy [TV Soundtrack] They come highly recomended. Enjoy and let the music flow.

Adrian decided to take a walk in my shoes. He didn't get really far, and when i say "very far" I mean he sat on the back of the boots and smiled. 

I don't know if you all can see it but look at what the odometer reads. One hundred and eleven thousand, one hundred and eleven miles. How often does one catch that sort of thing on a car? Pretty cool huh? 

This is from M's moms' visit back in September. This is from a really nice picnic with the Werners at Boulavard Park a few days before M's mom left for the east coast.. 

Sunset over Lake Padden. 

Big tree near Fairhaven College. 

Autumn is here. 

See, we other trees instead of just evergreens. The turning of the leaves. 

Father and son on a walk. 

M met up with us after work today after our walk. Happy boy! 

This is from Thrusady when M had off from work. It was the sme day we got the Kelty back pack in the mail. It's quite comfortable, I must admit it took some adjusting to get all the straps right but it's perfect now.  

This from my walk around Lake Padden with Adrian today. He really likes his new carrier. 

This shirt is the oldest one Adrian owns. It's about 25 and a half years old. My parents sent it out with a bunch of clothes from when I was Adrians' age. It looks quite nice on him.

Mommy putting on Adrian's first pair of shoes. First shoe went on with no problem, but he second one took some skill. 

These pictures are from the day before our dear friend Rob left for graduate school. When ever Rob would look at Adiran, Adrian would smile at him. As you can see here Rob and Adrian wore matching colors.  

This guy was playing with his mom who is lying down behind him. Then he just wlked up onto the rock and posed for eveyone who was watching. 

This is at the Gorilla enclosure, the camera is right against the windowand then the silver back is maybe 4 feet from the glass. Even though there was the glass between us it was an awsome feeling being that close to that big of a silver back gorilla. When he first walked past the us you could see him checking everyone out and then after a few minutes he came back and sat down. 

Adrian sporting a rather dashing sweater made by Holly S., and a Anne G. hand made blanket.
