Fringe benefits

There are many great perks that come along with Hyrum’s Microsoft Research internship.  First perk-they bought us a bike so Hyrum could be “green” and bike to work.  We are a bit far for him to bike to work, but he does take their connector bus that leaves from Monroe Fair Grounds (a second perk).  Third perk-they gave us a lump sum to help pay our rent this summer, but since we’re rent-free at Ma & Pa Magelsens’, it has gone towards the visit-Gamma-and-Bampa-in-Ireland fund.  Fourth perk-they plan great little trips so that we can be convinced to live in the northwest. 

As part of the fourth perk, we took a trip to Mt. Rainier.

Super Scottie

When I was in California visiting Michelle, I picked up a sweet superman shirt at the thrift store. Fortunately, and unfortunately, Scottie adores this. He calls it his "Captain Shirt," as in "Captain Dependable." If you have heard of Janeen Brady, you will know what he is talking about. Anyway, it is often difficult to get this t-shirt off of him so there are quite a few pictures of him in it.

Super Scottie!

See Scottie fly!

I have been taking the boys out for runs and bike rides in our double stroller/bike trailer lately. Isn't James the cutest 4 month old ever?
