Travels

Backyard of a B&B in PA. (freshly mowed grass)

Exploring Cambridge, MA

Harvard Natural History Museum

Swings are a big hit these days.

Great play area at Logan airport.

Happy to share the cockpit.

Espresso

Walter was not involved with this project, but I thought I would share a photo of the ultimate retrofitting of an old espresso machine that a lab-mate designed (my contributions were minor).

You pour already heated water into the reservoir and then flow compressed air at 120 psi up the steamer tube, which forces the water through the grounds. This way you can get what a fancy espresso machine has, which is higher pressure than you can get from just steam and a brew with water at the ideal temperature just below the boiling point.

Cousin Eden

Walter got to meet his cousin, Eden, who is only 6 days older than he is.

Babies at the beach.

Backyard fun.

Double stroller.

Happy Guy

Making friends.

Bathtime!

Welcome to Minneapolis Aunt Alex (she just moved here). Thanks for the help with the watermelon, Walter.

Rapidly improving crawling skills.

Playing with Ruby.

Crawler

No video yet, but today Walter did his first true crawling. He has been doing the 'army crawl' for a while now, but now he's figured out the real deal with alternating knees and hands.

When Mom hands you a lemon, chew on it.

Wiggly guy.

Date night

A few weeks ago grandma and grandad stayed with Walter for an evening so Anna and Dan could go on a canoe/dinner outing.

Our contraption to walk the canoe to the lake.

Dinner at the pasta bar.

What is that object in the distance? Nessie?

Yep.

Welcome Nathaniel Robert

Walter is excited to welcome a new cousin, Nathaniel, born on Friday. He is looking forward to getting together to play.

North Shore

Some pictures from a trip to camp on the North Shore of Lake Superior at Split Rock Lighthouse state park.

Dan at almost the same vista on skis a few winters ago.

Walter riding in the ergo on Dan's back.

A nap by the lake.

Exhausted

Fell asleep walking home after splashing around in the fountain in the park.

Missing mitten

I found my missing mitten...made by dear Bronwen...now how do I get it off, better question, how did they get it on?!?
