Toren loses a fight…
… to cool whip. Debi let him try it while we were eating pancakes with strawberries the other day. He liked it enough to rub it all over his face, and then into his eyes, at which point he realized the cool whip had the ability to make him cry: He didn’t like cool whip…

One more positive from the World Cup
Toren, whether he wanted to or not, got to watch a lot of World Cup soccer (as that’s pretty much all I did in my free time during June and July). You can see him sitting on his improvised soccer watching seat in this photo: Turns out those hours and hours of exposure to soccer…

Toren helping with laundry
While he doesn’t really show it that well in this video, Toren’s typical way of “helping” with the laundry is to pull everything off the couch or chair as quickly as possible and throw it on the floor:

pushing the trash
As soon as he learned how to walk, Toren started finding new toys, namely, our trash cans. We’re not sure why he likes doing this, but he pushes our trash cans all over the place now: Luckily we keep them fairly clean and empty them regularly. So far we haven’t had any major messes as…

Below is a quick video from our Oregon trip. The hotel had mirrors on the closet doors. Toren noticed his doppelganger in the mirror one night and decided to have a go with him:

Oregon trip – day 6 – hanging out around the hotel
The multiple days of hiking took its toll on my rib, reinjuring it and basically putting me out of action. As a result, we spent the last Saturday in Oregon just relaxing around the hotel. Toren’s first introduction to swimming was a few weeks before this at a swimming pool in our friends’ condominium complex.…

Oregon trip – day 5 – Mount Pisgah
I had originally planned to make another trip out to the Willamette National Forest for some more hikes this day, but upon the advice of some of the people at the dinner party, I opted, instead, for a closer hike – Mount Pisgah. It’s a nearby mountain that offers splendid views of the surrounding area.…

Oregon trip – day 3 – World Cup and french fries
After my adventure the day before, I decided to relax this day and recover (I was feeling the previous day’s hike in my legs pretty good). So, Toren and I pretty much just hung out at the hotel. This did give me a chance to watch the Germany/Spain game, which was a major upset for…
