A baby and Yosemite



OK, ok, I know! I really really stink at this whole blogging thing. I promise I will try to do better. So here's the update... Dainen Ryan Argyle was born on February 22 weighing in at 6 lbs 9 oz and 19" long. He is now four months old and such a cutie. Everyone calls him Ryan's clone. Ryan calls him "mini-me". Needless to say, he looks just like his daddy. On a more recent note, we spent a week at Yosemite at the beginning of the month with Ryan's family. Dainen had a great time! We all did. Ryan and his dad and Robyn hiked Half Dome. They had a great time but were pretty tired and sore by the end of it.
We went out to Bass Lake one day and went canoeing. It was so beautiful. (Don't worry, Dainen stayed home with his grandma.) The weather was so perfect with clear skies and a bit of a breeze. Sometimes we just floated and enjoyed being away from everything. We hiked through mariposa Grove and saw the Giant Sequoias. Those trees are huge!! Some of Ryan's mom's friends came with us. Even with all of us holding hands, we still couldn't get all the way around the base of the tree. It was a beautiful hike with lots to see and enjoy. We hiked out to Yosemite Falls also. We went twice. The first time we just looked and took pictures. The second time, we actually hiked out to it and got pretty wet. It was fun and so amazing! Dainen got pretty worn out. He fell asleep in the carrier while Ryan was holding him as we hiked. It was so fun to watch him though. He was just looking around at everything taking it all in. He is so smart. You can just see his mind working, processing it all, analyzing everything. We have certainly been blessed with an amazing baby.








I'm going to just put up some of the pictures we got at Yosemite. There were lots but I'll just put up a few of the best ones. I hope you enjoy!



These two are not from Yosemite, but he's just so cute!
