Meeting the Lindekens' - March 2008

Spending the day with Daddy and Uncle Sacha at the Children's Museum was fun, but I might have a few nightmares about big teeth!!

Happy Easter! The cousins with the Ah-Dahs ("aunties" in Taylor-speak).Taylor getting ready to run wild at the Children's Museum.

Daddy, am I a big boy?

Taylor and her Daddy, Uncle Sacha.

I love my cousin Taylor!
More cousin love... but wait, what is Daddy doing?!! He doesn't realize that the toy he's about to give Huck is Taylor's favorite Dog-Dog. Yikes! Daddy had to later use his medical finesse and suture up Dog-Dog's face before Taylor saw the damage.

Hey cuz!
Taylor likes carrots and ranch dip. So does Huck. Watch out, Taylor!

Back in the Pacific Northwest

Hi Folks! Back to wearing long sleeve shirts, pants, socks and animal hats (thanks Auntie Laura, Uncle Sacha and Cousin Taylor for this one).

Matthew's Next Big Adventure - Maui!

WooHoo, we're in Maui! Let's hit the beach!

Ahh, this is the life...I'll take my milk on the veranda, please.

Daddy, I'm liking this clothing-optional lifestyle. Me too, Son, me too...

Chillin' with Daddio

How you doin'?

Daddy, this is so cool!

I gotta say it again, this is the life!

I don't want to go home!

Going barefoot is awesome!
Our only family photo on the trip. Mommy and Daddy forgot to take pics of other stuff besides me.
Sweet dreams of hula girls, turtles, warm ocean water, and epic kite-boarding...oops, that last part was Daddy's dream.

The Family Feet
Mommy's favorite picture of me.
Watching the fishies at the aquarium was really cool. Daddy didn't like the Tiger Shark though.

Our last night on Maui - a final sunset.
The wind was so strong, my hair stuck like this for a full day afterwards. Pretty cool, huh?

Another shot of the do.

Aloha!

A Big Adventure - Matthew's 1st Flight to Meet the Rankin Clan in February

You're my cousin!
Lovin' on Auntie

I also got to see my G'ma and G'pa again!

I definitely have Daddy's genes. I like to hang upside down and fly high in the sky!
