These kids are too cute!

Riley is all smiles!

Riley's first time in the bumbo seat...she loves to sit up and take in the chaos (aka Nate) around her.

Nate loves the water table Uncle Joey and Aunt Sabrina gave him!

Nate is learning to be gentle with Riley. (I still haven't figured out how to flip these.)

Rochester Trip

The Iyer family: Raji, Badappa, Riley, Badamma, Meg, Nate, Ramesh

Uncle Josh, Auntie Raji and Riley

Here we are at the engagement ceremony.

Badappa, Raji, Josh and Badamma all looked stunning!

We went to Rochester for Raji and Josh's engagement ceremony. It was a beautiful ceremony and we can't wait for the wedding in NYC in August 2009! Nate loved playing in Badamma and Badappa's house and pool and Riley enjoyed all the attention she received. She is a natural born traveler while Nate continues to let all of his fellow passangers know how he feels about sitting on a plane for hours... and boy is he loud! We had a wonderful trip and can't wait to have both sides of the family here in Issaquah in July.

Cousin Sadie has arrived!!

Gig Harbor Maritime Parade

We went down to Gig Habor (Meg's hometown) for the annual Maritime parade. It was a lot of fun!

The Iyers (Nate-2, Mesh, Meg, Riley-3 months) and the Ludlows (Kara, Matt-3, Clint, Grace- 1 1/2)

Matt and Nate

Grace, Matt and Nate collected and ate a lot of candy.

Nate's 2nd Birthday Party

Nate had a Kindermusik birthday party which included singing, dancing, playing instruments, and of course eating cake and enjoying time with his little buddies. Thanks to everyone near and far that made this day so special for him! After a fun party he is finally taking a nap today!

Nate out in the center of all the action.

Nate surveying the crowd.

Riley took a nap during the party - this enabled Gramps to avoid the singing and dancing ;).

Make a wish Natey!

Nate didn't actually eat any of his cake at the party - but we'll try again tonight.

Happy Birthday Naters!

Nate turned two-years-old today!! We gave him a tricycle this morning and took a few family photos before his big birthday bash.
