Living close to mountains has lots of perks

So proud

To be sitting up all by herself!

Good news

There are birds living in our attic.  Friends, you know I am afraid of birds, so why is this good news?  Because as scared as I am of birds, I am 10 times more terrified of mice.  And I heard scratching and scurrying and squeaking.  And I spent one terrifying night thinking there were mice living in the ceiling right above my bed.  The exterminator came to check it out and announced it was birds.  Phew.  Or, as Clara says, "P-you."  Birdbusters is taking care of the problem.  And I don't have to pay the bill.  Renting has its perks!

New friends

Thankful for new friends and play dates!

First date

First one in Seattle, that is.

Tried oysters on the half shell for the first time (yummy!) followed by a ride on Seattle's Great Wheel.

Thanks, Kris and Owen, for showing us around the city.

Preschool

We found an opening at a great preschool for SJ. This week they learned about disguises.

Who said there is no sun in Seattle?

Park day!
Check out this gorgeous view.


Ps... It was storybook character day at school today. C was a mixture of Madeline and Fancy Nancy... She couldn't choose.

Walker

C loves being a "walker" to and from school. The rest of us love it, too!

Little sister tries to keep up.
