Our little boy turned 9 months old at his new home in Corvallis. As hoped, we got right down to business enjoying all the wonders of an Oregon summer!
- There was a hike up to Cronemiller Lake with Aunt Sarah Uncle JD and Tobin–a favorite of mine when I was little.
- Josef went on his first fishing trip with Grandpa Steve and came home with two little rainbow trout.
- He drove up to Portland with Papa and walked across the Hawthorne Bridge to listen to the tunes at the Riverfront Blues Festival.
- He helped Gramheart celebrate her birthday in a backyard picnic with all the Lovely Ladies.
- He made new friends and played in a pond on Independence Day.
- He generally comported himself in cute and adorable ways.
Lest you doubt the veracity of my testimony, I submit the following photos as evidence!

Gramheart took these while I was still in Santa Monica, moving us out. He had just turned 9 months old.
Makes me happy!
