Let me tell you a little story about this summer. On July 6, we got home from a lovely camping trip for the long weekend and found that the water supply line into our master bathroom toilet had cracked and leaked water all over the bathroom, through the floor, and into the office below. ItContinue reading “Summer Saga”

Roll Tide
We always look forward to fall for only one reason: college football. While Jim is a Husky, we also hold family ties to Alabama… we’re talking Civil War (and Jim married a Yankee girl!). We loved going to the game against Auburn two years ago and we’d love to go back for more. We alwaysContinue reading “Roll Tide”
I did it!
I did it! I finally skiied a full pass on a course in waterskiing. (What does that mean? See below.) After way too long of trying, I did it. I will make excuses about not having a boat for so long and having two maternity leaves, but really it comes down to finally being inContinue reading “I did it!”
Haley at 13 months
It’s about time I did an update on Haley. She is a very active little girl who can’t seem to get enough of anything. She is signing “sleep” now when she’s tired, which is usually right about nap time, and she crashes pretty hard. Then she wakes up cheerful and ready to go, go, go!Continue reading “Haley at 13 months”
Do the Puyallup
We had a fabulous time at the Puyallup Fair last week! We went on Monday and it was still super crowded… I can’t imagine what it must be like on the weekends. We went with our friends the Schmalz family so JT would have a buddy (and so we would have buddies, while we waited!).Continue reading “Do the Puyallup”
Two Wheeler
You might recall that we bought JT a two wheeler for his birthday and it was just a bit too tall. We took the pedals off so he can use it like a Strider bike (balance bike) for awhile and then learn to pedal without ever having to use training wheels. We keep suggesting heContinue reading “Two Wheeler”
Heritage Park
Our friend Eli had his birthday party at this great little park in Renton, so we invited our friends Carrie, Emi, and Kenzi to join us there on Friday. We had such a great time catching up! JT and Emi are just a month apart in age, and Kenzi and Haley are about six monthsContinue reading “Heritage Park”
Mt Rainier Scenic Railroad
Our friends the Krafts invited us to take a trip on the Mount Rainier Scenic Railroad with them. After reading some negative reviews online, we were a little nervous – but it was wonderful! We think people just don’t know what to expect. It was perfect for our train-loving boy and curious little girl. GettingContinue reading “Mt Rainier Scenic Railroad”
Awful
That is the word I would use to describe the morning that we took Haley for her blood work. Her pediatrician recommended we get a full diagnostic panel instead of just the standard anemia finger-poke because she is so, so small and not gaining weight. “Wouldn’t we all feel horribly if something was wrong andContinue reading “Awful”
End of Summer
We had some warmer weather at the very end of August and beginning of September and it was so nice to get in the sunshine *one last time* before the rainy season closes in for the next nine months. Brady came over for “swimming and sandwiches.” Playing at the lake with Juden andContinue reading “End of Summer”
