Christmas 2023

 

Taproot Theatre

My dear friend, Susan, and I went to see Georgiana & Kitty: Christmas at Pemberley this past weekend. We giggled like girls and exchanged lots of smiles. I love her love for Jane Austen. We plan to watch Pride and Prejudice mini series in 2024.

  

 

Christmas break style

This is how Lewis will spend some of his break. Zoned it and focused on his ipad. 

 

November Happenings

 

I made a new friend from church and saw White Christmas

5th Ave Theatre

Beyond blessed by these ladies and those not pictured

Bill ran a half marathon! 

Concert with another new friend from church to see Lauren Daigle and Josh Garrels

Halloween 2023

 

The most adorable fox ever!

Why carve the pumpkin when painting is more fun. 

A couple Fall walks

Lincoln Park troll 

Carkeek Park 

Embracing the dark mornings when I roll out of bed for Barre3, pumpkin spice lattes, and walking in the leaves. Looking forward to finding more trolls around the Seattle area. Soaking time together as a family of four. 

 

8th grade backpacking trip

Harrison has a successful backpacking trip filled with adventures and getting to know some classmates better. His favorite parts were the trees and mountains. 

 

First day of 3rd and 8th grade

Praying for a year filled with blessings and love

 

Mission Impossible

Created by Harrison when he found the Tom Cruise minifigure. One of many things I love about Harrison is his imagination.  

 

D&D plus Adventure Quest

Lewis made his first campaign for Bill and I to play. So fun experiencing his creativity.

Lewis spent the week while Harrison was away at overnight camp adventuring with his friend Nora at Majestic Adventures Camp.

It’s so good to have Harrison home again. 

 

Kill Devil Hills, NC

Putt putt was a huge hit for Harrison and Lewis 

Cousins, boys vs girls! Lots of imagination, laughter, and love 

Oh dear was the sand incredibly HOT and not our thing. We do much better on Northwest beaches not East Coast! We are thankful for grandma and grandpa treating us to a week at the beach to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary.

Our trip to Virginia- Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown

Walking together talking away 

Ships and cannons are awesome 

Harrison really wanted this coat…when he is 18 we will buy home one 

Absolutely love my momma and thankful to spend a few days together 

American Revolution Museum 

Impressive cannons 

My highlight of our trip was the carriage ride around Williamsburg  

 

Seaside, OR memories

Blessed to have Michael join us for 4th of July 
Bill and I met Michael the first day we moved into our apartment in Seattle, April 2007. We have shared incredible amounts of laughter and life over the past 16 years!

God Bless America 

Harrison and Lewis wanted pizza for dinner…we did not so off we went. Thankful Harrison is old enough to keep an eye on Lewis.

Strong in faith and love

I may actually enjoy the sand…stay tuned for more sand adventures this summer.

 

Detective camp

Last week Lewis went to summer camp at Matheia (he has corrected me more than once that it is not summer school!)
He had a great time reaching his goal of becoming Captain at the end of camp…apparently he also committed the crime of eating. I love his imagination. 

 

School is out for SUMMER!

Harrison’s last day of 7th grade
Harrison was on his backpacking trip…God’s beautiful country.

Lewis was out of 2nd grade was June 7th. 

Overall a great school year with lots of growth and continuing to take one second at a time. Our summer will have a few camps and visiting family.
