A Lunch in San Francisco...

Yummy lunch at Kingdom of Dumplings and then on to a park...where there happen to be a Corgi convention...What? oh san francisco...you ARE adorable.

Giggle-Bot

Back At It...

Is it possible? that my last post was LAST summer? seeing pictures of Edie, in all her chubby glory, sort of blows my mind. Fast forward almost a year later...settling into our new lives in San Jose and missing our friends in Pittsburgh. We just returned from a great visit in Seattle...we didn't get to see everyone, but now that we're on the west coast again, I know we'll be there more often, to keep tabs on everyone we missed.

Much love to our gracious hosts, the Buckleys (Leslie, Brian, Mia & Jack), who shared their toys...and their entire fruit bowl & granola bar inventory..and extra diapers...and shampoo...and extra pants...and sleepers...and sleepshirts for adults...and workout shirts for adults... Sigh...you made the trip a success...

And to our Port Townsend hosts, Joanna, Carter, Clara & Thatcher...sorry for the raspberry depletion, caused by Hurricane Edith...Our visit to you guys was long overdue...so much fun.

Leslie gets a checkup from two helpful doctors.

Seabrook horse was a big hit...Mia show's edie her saddle style.

Beautiful sunroom at the Seabrook house.

Jack relays driving tips to Edie.

Seabrook!

Dance party with Rhymer!

Um. Cutest pic ever. (Thanks for the dry/clean shirt, Shannon)

First Ferry Ride!

Backpack test! Success! Windy Port Townsend did not disappoint.

The girls...Special thanks to Clara for being so sweet to Edie (tiny doberman in edie's hand was a parting gift.)

picnics...finally!

Felice and I have talked about going on a picnic for months..and we finally did it! special thanks to Andrew, for taking pics (with film!!)

cute movie stuffs..

Leslie..I think you gave her the striped bear, right? and those definitely your hand me down pjs..wanted you to know they are getting good use!

Beers & Games..

Edie's getting her fair share of 'guy' time.

 Playing video games with dad...I know..too soon. You'll be relieved to know this ISN'T the game where you can dig bullets out of your own arm.

 Hanging out with Tom & Mark in the side yard

Moving..

We're packing and packing and packing...funny the stuff that surfaces:

Would you believe that the Christian work out record is in the 'save' pile?

 One of many elk paintings that are making the move...I hope our new place has a parlor.

Oh Ian..so young! (yes, these are making the move, too.)
