Well, it happened: JT’s first ever field trip. We went to Thomasson Farm in Enumclaw and had a blessing of good weather even though the forecast called for rain showers. First everyone took a hay ride and got to pick out a pumpkin to take home.  Then the fun continued with all sorts of adventuresContinue reading “Field Trip #1”

We went to the park with friends this week to enjoy the last sunny day in the forecast. We ate lunch and then the big kids rode bikes around the loop while the littler kids enjoyed the swings and play structures. They climbed the rocks, jumped off the rocks, and had an amazing time. TheContinue reading “Biking with Friends”

Haley can conquer the world in this outfit. And by the way, she told Grandma Keene thatContinue reading “Twinkle Toes”

The other day JT said he would like to ride his bike on the trail while I ran. So we loaded up the stroller and the bike and got ready for a short run. JT had a goal to make it to a certain point on the trail… 1.5 miles out. Two miles in, heContinue reading “Running Partners”

Last night Jim and I went to a wedding for some friends of his from work. It was a lovely ceremony at a huge old church in Seattle, followed by a sunset dinner on the water at the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland. We had fun getting dressed up. My friend Elisa let me borrow aContinue reading “Fall Wedding”

My friend Sarah got me a mini waffle maker and it is really fun. The best part is that the waffles are just the right size to pop in your mouth. Pretty soon, you’ve eaten, well, a lot of them. We made some blackberry sauce from the berries we picked to go on top. Yummmmm.Continue reading “Mini Waffles Etc”
