Rainbow theme.

We celebrated L's 5th birthday a few days ago with a rainbow party at the park.  This girl is a true gift form above.  We're so thankful for this ray of sunshine.  

Family Day #3.

Savannah.

Remember this shower?

Well, after a miraculous birth in NYC - this little one flew to Seattle to meet me all of us, wearing her Sunday best.  I could have held her allllllllll day.

Like mother, like daughter - L couldn't get enough... 

Cuddles with her nana.

My uncle reading stories to the kids...

We love & miss you already sweet Savannah!

Happy 4th y'all!

Apparently the neighbs had a kid parade every year for years & years.  This hasn't happened since we moved here 5 years ago.  This year it was reinstated.  Lai could barely sleep the night before:  "Can you believe it mama, we are going to be in a real parade.  I've always dreamed of being in a parade."

Isn't this a great turn out?  This isn't even everyone.   

Miles (our buddy on the right) was a real show-stopper as he rode slow and gently handed out candy to on-lookers...

Selfies of my sillies & I:

Red, white & blue everywhere!

Thanks Gram & Papa!!!

Family Day #2.

The fish are running!  Head down to the Locks to see massive amounts of salmon right now.  We did this on our Family Day today.  We love The Locks and feel so blessed to have it so close.  It's great/free entertainment.  The boats were beautiful, the day was warm and the fish were jumping like crazy!

Fish ladder. 

We could have watched the fish jumping all day long... 

...and the seals chowing down (Boo!).

Summer Family Day #1.

Summer's are busy for us.  J works a LOT, and with me working on most days that he's not working.  Well, we have decided to be intentional about having at least one family day a week.  We have them on the calendar and set aside the day (or most of the day) to be together to go out and DO something.

So, I now present to you Family Day #1 - Discovery Park hike:

If at first you don't succeed try, try again...

Birt boys.

Daddy daughty.  

I heart you.

V-day consisted of a family trip to the Children's museum & lots of heart shaped food.
