2007 Spring Break San Francisco

In March 2007 We spent spring break in San Francisco. Our trip was filled with site seeing, everything from the temple to the beach, harbors, and Golden Gate Bridge. We enjoyed spending time with Brad's sister and her family!

Victoria Canada

In August we took a trip to Victoria Canada. We left Ian at Brad's sisters for about 5 days. It was fun to spend some alone time but hard to be away from our little boy. We did a lot of site seeing: light houses, a mansion, the bay, a ferry ride across the ocean, the famous Pike's Place Market in Seattle and our favorite- The Buchart Gardens. The Second Picture is of the sunken garden. It used to be an old rock quary. It was so beautiful! I never thought that I would spend $25/ person to walk through a garden and actually say it was worth every penny.

It wasn't long after Ian was walking that he started going down the twisty slide all by himself. The first time he went down all by himself he did it five times in a row. Luckily I was quick to get the camera but unfortunately it was dusk and the lighting wasn't the greatest.

Liberty Park

It's not often we get to spend a whole day with DAD. One Saturday we biked to Liberty Park. Ian and Brad sure enjoyed the time together.

Ian's 1st Birthday

Ian turned ONE on June 7th. We threw him a party and he Loved the CUPCAKE.

Ian at 9 months

Ian Loves his bath toy! Eating turtle head could be considered a delicacy.

Sorry it has been so long since we've updated you all on our happenings. Brad is still enjoying school and Ian is growing up sooooooo fast that I can hardly believe 9 months have pasted. Here is Ian demonstrating his latest accomplishment.... Standing! He thinks that he is so big!

Our little Angel!

I guess Ian Bradley Bishop did not want to be known as "The Omen" or the spawn of satan so he waited nine minutes after 6/6/06 to be born. That's right, our little angel was born into this world at 12:09 a.m. on 6/7/06 and weighed 6 lbs. 7 oz. and 19 in. long. He has quite a head of hair on him right now. After his first bath I was able to wash his hair and the the nurse put some gel in his hair and tried to comb it like his daddy's for his first picture, it was pretty cute. He has both of his parents wrapped around his little fingers. We are so glad to have him in our lives and grateful that there were no problems with the delivery. Both mom and baby are doing great though dad is a bit tired from trying to sleep on a recliner in the hospital room. If you left click on the pictures it will enlarge them for you. Thank you for all the well wishes. We are so grateful for the wonderful families we have and all their love and support.
