Pony camp
We have been lucky enough to sneak time outside during this rather rainy end-of-summer season. It is currently raining, but very warm outside, which in fine. For some reason, it is around this time of year I always need to remind myself to slow down the pace. Perhaps it is because the school year begins and […]
Europe
In mid-June we traveled to Europe. We flew on Iceland Air and stopped in Reykjavik for 3 days, before flying to England. It was great to see family in the UK and we had plenty of opportunity to do so, since we attend 2 family weddings. We felt so fortunate to share that special day with […]
Spring
With 3 birthdays in our family falling in March and April, it is always a busy time for us, but this year was made all the more busy (and fun!) with Sandy, Steve, Wynn and Layn in town! We had wonderful weather in February and we all thought Spring had arrived. Since then, it’s been […]
Happy Holidays
This has been a very happy year for us. Not because of any particularly exciting events, but more for the lack of them. Compared to last year, when we welcomed a new daughter and moved to a new house (which, don’t get me wrong, were very happy events), this year has been much more simple […]
August day
August 26, 2009 Today was one of those days that I thought I had a lot to accomplish and didn’t accomplish any of it. However, it was a beautiful sunny day and I spent it with my girls & my mom. And now, at the end of the day, that is all that seems […]
Summer 2009
Our summer has been sort of back-to-front when it comes to weather this year. Usually, Seattle has a rainy June and beautiful August. This year, June was surprisingly sunny and warm and August has been rather grey. Perhaps the sun got scared away. We had a horrendous heat wave a few weeks ago and although, […]

Spring
March was a crazy (and fun) month for us. We traveled to Mexico & Idaho (see photos) & celebrated 3 family birthdays. We enjoyed a much-needed week of fun in the sun, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, with Bryan (Brett’s brother), Jenn and Alex. We rented a condo on the beach, which gave us daily access […]
Merry Christmas!
This entry is a “Christmas letter”, so Happy Holidays! We thought we’d save a few trees this year, with an online letter. But what a busy year it has been…new baby, new house and to top it off, a new niece, as well! I think this time in our lives is composed of one exciting […]
Bobcat
Here is a picture of the bobcat we saw sitting on our back fence this weekened. Pretty ironic because I went for a run that morning on trails near our house and was asking myself what I would do if I ran into a "big cat". No more than 5 minutes after I got back, I saw this […]
