Peps goes the beach club

We had a bbq at the Laurelhurst Beach Club (I know, aren't we super fancy!) with PEPS this afternoon. It was loads o' fun (and totally made me want to move to stupid expensive Laurelhurst. Hmpf.) Sad Loren had to miss it, but he seems to have had a good time reliving the glory days of grunge with subpop and all the other Seattle garage band graduates in town (more details at http://adventure-dad.blogspot.com/2008/07/sp-20.html )But anyway, the babies are all getting so big and so funny! Benjamin's first move was to try to lean over and grab everyone else in the cheeks/eye. It was not a popular move. There was lots of stealing and sharing of toys, and showing off of tricks. (Ardashir crawls like a fiend. Anya is standing mostly unaided. Many babies have impressive teeth.) Everyone is sitting up, and when we first got there, they were all sitting up on a blanket, and they looked like a little group of buddhas. They have come a long way since the first meeting, when no one could even hold their head up.
