grandpa, new house, and new teeth

It's September already, and we have had a few days that feel like fall. Now it is back in the 90's- Oregon has a hard time committing to a season. Except rainy season- it is highly committed to that.

My dad came out for a visit last week and it coincided (intentionally) with Susie's family moving to a new house. Now instead of being a 6 minute walk from my house, they are a 4 minute walk. What will we do with all the time we will be saving?

In between moving Susie's house and helping fix up the old house, Dad played airport with Owen, taught Ben how to crawl, and worked a couple of shifts with me on the press. We had a fun visit.

Ben is now crawling all over the house and discovering cabinets full of Tupperware, the springs on the backs of doors that go "sproing!", and Owen's toys. He seems very happy to be mobile. He also has 2 more upper teeth- yes that's a total of 6 baby chompers!
