Baby Shower

We can't wait to meet the newest addition! Thanks to Melissa for organizing the girls' celebration yesterday!
He had a great time watching "Skyfall" last night: kicking and generally making Mom uncomfortable in the Luxe seats!

Thanksgiving!

Doesn't everyone have a dance party after turkey?

Here we go! Parked at a funny little hotel with only three bags between us! Yay Boston!!

Our feet are at the Marine Corps Ball!

How you know your best friends love you

I am out in Spokane this weekend for the Marine Corps Ball with Erin and Brent! I pulled over and got some beautiful shots of the mountains on my camera and was surprised by the contrast with the valley, pictured here. It was very monochromatic! More pictures to come! Xoxo

Fun!

I've had a really great few days, and I'm excited to share them!

 I found a watch tower looking out over the Puget Sound in downtown Olympia on Saturday when I was wandering around.  I got to go to the Olympia Farmer's Market (this is their website!), wandered around the little independent shops, and had a pretty great breakfast.  Then Kem and I got to cook together!

Why do fowl love me?

Ben, Aya, Steven, and I walked to Magnusen Park on Friday.  It was a beautiful, brisk day!

"Cheeeeese!!!"

"Aya, do you want to play or chill?"
"Chill, please!"

 Kem and Sophie were dancing and playing...till the kisses began and the fun was called off.

Tree shadows=sunshine!

I was so thankful for the sunshine yesterday! It turns out I'm Much happier when it isn't raining. It might be a long winter....

The zoo!

Sunshine for the first time in a week. What a pleasant start to my weekend!

Ornery Dog

Sometimes (especially when anyone is cooking or walking around or home) Sophie gets underfoot.  Last night it was just too much: she went outside for a bit, then, as evidenced by this photo, got some "time out" in her crate.  I love Kem!

Reading wears me out

Golden Girls

I'm not much of a dog person, but she's pretty darn cute!

The look we all gave the movie "Spirited Away".

Foot!

Third long bone (metatarsal) where the cursor is pointing....the tiny reason I have been limping! Apparently it is healing well, though, for which I'm thankful!
Xoxo

Some sunshine before the downpour!

Oh happiness

We've come to the weird point in babysitting where the kids are sound asleep and we have no idea how to work the 8 remotes....

Another late entry, this one from where Patrick took me running before he left. The beauty here made the transition from sunny LA much easier!

A quiet evening

Steven is the easiest child Ever to put to bed!
Aya and Auntie Kem colored and then Aya
announced, "Coloring is tiring, I need to go to bed".
So now Kem and I are just relaxing in Lia and Ben's nice house!
