2nd grade picture.

I chose the gray background and Dylan wanted a purple background... 

3 Peas in a Pod.

Dylan insisted on bringing her beetle, Scout, to Abbey and Ashlyn’s house.  

The Creamery...  a favorite!

Fun October weekend.

Hello Kitty Truck at Bridgeport Village.  Dylan opted to get something at Paper Source for equal or less than what we would have spent for overpriced Hello Kitty cookies instead of waiting in line. 

Who needs to go to the pumpkin patch when there’s festive props and no mud?!

Revisited our old stomping grounds at Chapman School in NW.  Fun memories of this park.

Portland Nursery Apple Festival. Dylan is a good multi tasker. Hula hooper, popcorn eater extraordinaire. 

2nd successful sleepover.

It was a first for Matilda...  huge deal since it was at our house!  And Dylan didn’t cry for me to come sleep with her or beg to leave her friend to sleep with us!  

SPOOKY!!

If it were up to the boring adult, I probably wouldn’t have decorated but... thanks to Dylan, the Edwards’ house is now decorated.

Fun at Draper Girl Farm!

We dodged the rain...  barely!  And had a fun afternoon with the Holt family. 

Fun day apple picking.


Beautiful grounds. 

Kingston, Poulsbo, Seattle, Bellevue, Renton.

End of September/beginning of October weekend. 

Courtney was here for an interview so of course we had to reunite the cousins and deliver the sign Marty made for my sister’s beach house. 


It started in Kingston. Then dinner in Poulsbo.

Ferry ride back to spend the night in Seattle. 

Of course, it’s never complete without brunch at Din Tai Fung. 

In celebration of our October birthdays. 

They’ve become part of the Halloween display.

Last stop...  Renton to finish the sales agreement for the Astoria rental house. Busy weekend!!

National Walk To School Day

Officially it was October 4, 2017. I just can’t seem to break the cycle of tardiness in posting.
