Easter 2009

We had a great Easter weekend. We started out hanging out with Betsy, James, and Audrey at Grandma Cathy and Opa Tom's. Lots of egg hunting.

Leopold's First Press Event

Leopold attended his first press event on Friday at the Three Forks County Park outside of Snoqualmie, Washington. It was in celebration of the recent introduction of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Additions and Pratt and Middle Fork Snoqualmie Rivers Act. He got to meet Senator Murray and Representative Reichert. The Congressman even mentioned Leopold in his speech! As you can see, he had a fun time.

Winter and Spring Photos

Well, here are some long overdue photos. The early snowshoe ones are from about a month ago when Gregg and Laura were visiting.

Ready for adventure!

Leopold in January - Starting to Walk!!

Greetings from 2009!!! Leopold continues to grow and thrive, check out the photos and vidoes below.

Cynthia's job is getting busy and she's having fun working on great issues - new wilderness legislation for Washington State and a lot of work at the national level on a new recreation program for The Wilderness Society. Anthony's been herding elk and working with landowners as usual. The weather is odd, not much snow since the first week of January. Lots of warm weather, rain, some power outages, and flooding. The snow is mostly gone and we went on a beautiful walk along the Yakima River today. Cynthia got certified to drive the vanpool last week, so there will be a bit less sleeping in the mornings, but she feels good about contributing to the group effort.

We're thrilled about the inauguration - Cynthia went and watched it in Seattle at the Paramount Theater - it was a packed house and an incredible day. A bit frustrated with the bitter politics still prevailing in Congress, but hopefully things will improve. Hope you're all well!!

Grandma Cathy and mom took Leopold to the west side yesterday and visited great Aunt Cathy and Great Grandma and Grandpa Wilkerson - it was great fun.
