Camping and other happenings

It's been awhile since we last posted some pictures to the blog.  Abe has been doing tee ball.  He seems to have fun.  They practice every Thursday and then play games on Saturdays.  All the kids get to bat, and no one gets out.  The kids have really improved.  Abe has even played first a few times.  Let's go Tigers!
 Here's the happy 6 month old.  He's almost sitting up on his own.  Teddy now has 2 bottom teeth, which he like to use to bite your finger.  He's getting the hang of solids, and seems to be ready to move.  He's really good at rolling onto his belly.  And when he's on his belly he kicks and moves his arms.  He's ready for take off.  No!!
 Sadly Abe's Coocoo Beauty passed on to that big chicken coop in the sky a few weeks ago.  She had been sick for about a week, and just stopped eating and drinking.  Abe was quite sad, but he ended up making a little grave and he hosted a little ceremony on my birthday--complete with singing the more we get together in chicken (once in english and once in french).  I wonder what the neighbors though.
 That's my yankee doodle dandy!
 Over memorial weekend we went camping in conconully state park near Omak, WA.  It was a lot of fun.  And so nice and warm!  We stayed in a two room cabin.
 Em Li enjoyed the s'mores.
 Abe was quite the marshmallow roaster.  He liked to tell you about his technique.
 We got a fishing pole at the general store.  Abe caught 2 fish, but they were a little small to keep.  We also went swimming in the lake.  It was that warm!  We're never going camping west of the mountains again!
