Big news! Our little girl has been walking for over two weeks now, and it’s a ball.
It all started at Gerry’s BBQ for the Bandito’s Burritos Ski-to-Sea relay team, the Friday before Memorial Day. He has a nice, big back yard with smooth, lush grass and a badminton court. Lots of little kids were running around playing. Q.P. had just gotten a new pair of shoes from See Kai Run.
We’re not sure which was the magic ingredient she needed, but we do know it was just a lack of confidence keeping her from breaking free. She had been practicing so much, but always needing just one little finger on her for support. Finally she found her wings and is flying on her own!

On April 11, 2008 Quincy Pearl turned 1 year old! How fast it went.
We had several mini parties to celebrate. Ryan had a race in Spokane the weekend of the 5th, so we headed out on Friday afternoon. We finally made it to Coeur d’Alene on Saturday morning. I made a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting for a party with Ryan’s family. We had a nice dinner and opened gifts from Grandma Jeni, Aunt Katie, Grandma Barbara & Grandpa Buster, and Great Auntie Diane . She was very sleepy, since it all happened late in the evening. But she made it through like a good little trooper. She even enjoyed a nice big bite of cake that Daddy fed her.
See the pictures

Wow, the electronics team is on fire this week! Must be the Leap Day phenomenon.
Look for the “videos” link on the right, under Pages. It will show you all our delightful YouTube videos at once.
Susie will work on adding footage of Q’s new skills, such as crawling, playing catch with Bandit, and more! I will work on archiving the older stuff into a separate page.
Enjoy, sports fans!

We put new floors in our kitchen/office/laundry/mud room this weekend. Actually, we paid for a Hispanic guy named “Junior” and his trusty assistant to do it. But we had to move half of our house into the other half of our house, including all 5 of our major appliances, which was logistically challenging. It also made our lives pretty jumbled for about 48 hours.
But it is now done and looks great! Susie was inspired by the open walls to paint, so we even have a new color in the kitchen – it’s called “Honey Butter” (formerly Birds Egg Blue). We will post pictures as soon as the new counter tops and trim is done.
Adding to the challenge, but also very rewarding, was Quincy’s new-found mobility. She started crawling on Friday! Unfortunately, it was while Daddy was at work, but now she can do it pretty much anytime she wants. As soon as she figured out how to flop over that pesky leg, the rest of the movements seemed to follow. She can now cross a room pretty quickly and find something to try and climb. She even managed to boost herself to standing position at the couch! Watch out - suddenly everything in our house seems very accessible.
Susie brought home another form of baby transportation today, courtesy of her boss Bill (or Grandpa Bill). It’s a Tot Rider, something she sits in and can scoot around on her feet. With our new smooth floors, she was on the go in no time flat!
Wow, it sure is different when they can move under their own power. I feel quite occupied by it (literally).
Videos to follow soon.

Hello all you Quincy fans! I am starting to load our new website with many of my favorite pictures of Q. She is such a ham in front of the camera that we have a ton!
In the near future Ryan is going to snazzy this up a bit with his ‘electronics skills’. There will eventually be a page that is titled ‘gallery’ with all the photos. But for now, click on one of the pictures to the right and it will take you to flickr. There you can watch a slideshow of all the pictures that I am adding.
Enjoy!
