The Issaquah Krohns

Work trips really stink - most of the time - but the one to Costa Rica was OK!!  HAHA  Melia and the boys came with me on this one, and while I was busy working - they had a blast by the pool.  I'll have to upload the Video in a bit - but there are new pictures to the right.  After leaving Los Suenos - we met up with Carlos and Sylvia and had a blast at their place.  We tried hard for the fish - but no luck.  Maybe next time!

We are a little behind as usual. I've added to new albums July and August 2007. Tristan turned 3 at the beginning of July and so did Cousin Orion! We had a great time at his birthday party at 3-2-1 Bounce. We've taken lots of trips to Chelan, Ocean Shores, Blake Island, Victoria and hanging out at Lake Sawyer. Grandma Jeannie visited at the beginning of August and we had a great time taking the Clipper to Victoria, going to Butchart Gardens and returning on one of the Holland America cruise ships!

We've been enjoying lots of walks, bike rides and outings to the fish hatchery, park and library with the kids! It's great to have everything so close! We've added some pics to April-May and June. Enjoy!

Josh finally had a weekend off! We headed to Cannon Beah and had a great time playing in the sand. This is the first time Sawyer has really been able to enjoy the beach. Tristan loved camping and sleeping in the tent! He still wants to go back to the campsite.

We've been busy working on the new house and MOVING! We are pretty much settled, but still have a lot to do. The boys love the new place and to take walks on the nearby trails. Tristan likes being able to ride his trike in the street now that we are on a cul-de-sac.

  Well - Melia finally got tired of living out in the sticks - boondocks - with the rednecks that is!  So we bought ourselves a house back in Downtown Issaquah, where we can walk to the grocery store, the fish hatchery, the park and library, and all the fun restaurants etc ...

 

Anyway - look to the right for some pics of the new house - there'll be more up later.

Tristan has finally recovered from Daddy being gone for 2 weeks. He was traumatized and would come in our room in the middle of the night to to be sure Josh was still here. There is still suprise in his voice when he comes in and see's him here "Daddy's here!". Tristan's new favorite thing to do is PUZZLES! It's the one thing that can keep him occupied while we are on a phone call or making dinner. What a lifesaver. He's also very into dinosaurs now. He sleeps with his triceratops even though it's hard plastic! He's so curious and taking everything is, amazing us everyday.

 

Sawyer is trying hard to keep up with Tristan, Aleyna, Kyan and Katie. He is nearly running now and always with a big wide mouthed grin. He's just as curious as Tristan and communicating better each day with new signs and words.
