These are for daddy to put on his computer while he works. He can download pics from the blog, but not anything from the montage.

September Montage

Another month- come and gone. They seem to be going faster and faster. September was beautiful here in Washington. I love fall here! The summer boating crowd starts thinning out and the fishing vessels return from their season at sea. It seems like everyone is getting the last little bits of the great outdoors before the winter (and the rain) starts. The sunrises and sunsets are phenomenal this time of year as well.
Matthew has been as busy as ever. The most common comment that I hear about him these days is "boy, he sure is fast". And he is!! He continues to love playing outside as well as making messes with play-doh and paint (see below). We've taken him for a couple of early morning trips to the beach to watch the sunrise and find crabs under rocks at the boat launch. One crab was blowing bubbles out of his nose and Matthew responded with "crab need tissue".
We spent a few days in September in the San Juan Islands with some friends of ours. We all went whale watching one day and got to see several Orcas up close. It was great. Scott and Jacques did some kayaking on Orcas Island while Irina and I did a little roaming around town with Matthew.
We also made trip #2 to the Puyallup Fair since our camera died after only two pictures during our first visit. Needless to say, I think Matthew is now a carnival ride junkie. He also went on his first pony ride. "Matthew ride cinacinaminaminamon" (a.k.a. cinnamon).
The last pics on the montage were taken at the Ballard Farmers Market. We went one Sunday with our friends Steve and Julie and their daughter, Tia. Matthew and Tia were inseperable and walked around holding hands most of the time. We founds some drummers performing on the street and the kids got to join in. As you can see, Matthew really got into it after a while. What a ham!
Well, we hope you enjoy the pics. Stay tuned for more news from the Taylors.
