A backlog of adventures... (Part I)

Since we last added pictures, Little Mr. Farwell has done quite a bit.  He's charmed his Grandma Nena and Nana Willa during their visits, went strawberry picking, celebrated his first Father's Day, sent me off to work (with no tears on his part), figured out how to roll over, went swimming for the first time, attended a wedding (in a bow tie & seersucker trousers!), started flirting with the idea of sitting up, begun eating sweet potatoes and green peas and started daycare (today).  Here is some photographic proof of the adventures--and, of course, his cuteness...

Go West (Again) Young Man

A couple days after we got back from Missouri, Little Mr. Farwell and I headed west again to visit dear friends in Minneapolis.  We had a great time seeing their new home and playing with their growing kids.  Little Mr. Farwell particularly liked sitting in the high chair and watching the kids!

Three kids in one Subaru Outback.  Impressive.

Not so sure about the pool

Back in Massachestts, sporting his UC Davis gear. We're sending this photo in with his application 17 years from now.

Brrrr, a chilly June day

Go West Young Man

Little Mr. Farwell made his first journey to Missouri to meet the Farwells over Memorial Day weekend.  He was a great traveller--even when our flight out of Springfield was cancelled and we unexpectedly got to visit Arkansas and Texas on the way home.  Here is a sampling of the pictures of the little guy with his cousins, Grandma Nena, aunts, uncles & new friends.
