Lots has happened these last 3 1/2 months! Tristan will be turning 9 months next week, we took our first family vacation in Seattle where I (Holly) ran my first marathon post baby, I got a new job, Travis was recognized at work for doing an outstanding job, we went back to Iowa and finally saw friends/family, including an awesome not even 24 hour trip to Minneapolis to visit our MN friends AND we moved!! So we've been busy, busy, busy to say the least!
Here are some cute pics from the Seattle trip, the last week in June, when Tristan was 7 1/2 months (and was already an expert crawler - he finally got "good" at crawling right after he turned 7 months):
Holly before the race (not very spectator friendly, so Travis couldn't get a very good picture of me running, I finished in 4:00:52, which I was proud of for it being such a hilly course).
On top of the space needle!
Happy baby!
At the fish market (Holly says ewwww!)
In front of the Clipper when we went to the San Juan Islands and saw 2 pods of Orca whales, soooo cool!
At Ivar's for a nice dinner out!
Here are some pics from our trip to Iowa/Minnesota:

Last day in Iowa!
Anyway, I am going to be better about updating. In Holly & Travis news, I (still Holly) started a new job in accounting for Cornerstone Christian (the church we go to) and will be going full time at the end of October or beginning of November. I'll still be teaching 2 courses this fall, taking 1 course as a student and collecting data for my thesis, so I have a lot on my plate to say the least. Travis was recognized at work for doing such an awesome job on his projects!! He really enjoys his job and he can get home from work in 7 minutes, which is a HUGE bonus as well. He is training for a half ironman triathlon and doing trx, while Holly is running every other day or every couple of days. But we ALWAYS make time for our favorite little guy in the whole wide world!
