Procession of the Species Parade in Olympia

I didn't get the best pictures this year, but the procession was enjoyable as it always is.... Oh Olympia- keeping things interesting and festive!  It was good timing to show Adam's dad some Olympia culture.  Someday we need to be in the parade instead of watching :)

Fence Project!

What a change we've made to our house in just under a week!  Adam's dad came out to visit and help with a project and Adam decided to make a fence in the front yard the priority.  We have been talking about a fence since we bought the place- because we are so close to the road and wanted some privacy, a place to let the dog out and noise reduction.  With the help of Jonah and Adam's cousin Aaron, Adam and his dad nearly finished fencing in the entire front yard (minus gates).   It's a huge transformation and just in time while the weather is getting better!

Chicks!

We took a couple of the babies outside over the weekend for a photo shoot.  They sure are cute when they're little!
