Spring is upon us!

I guess a lot has changed since the last post. Oh how time flies! And like I ever have more than 5 seconds to sit in front of my computer these days. It's funny how when I would most like to document the wonderful events in my life I have the least time to do so.

So here are some highlights from the last several months: Halloween happened, Thanksgiving happened, Oliver's birthday happened (he's 3 now!), and Christmas happened. Exciting isn't it?


Just last week we had a pretty good snow. Enough to last one morning anyway and allow us time to play!


Up next: Violet's 1st birthday! She's changed a lot in the last month as she's starting to walk and at the same time FINALLY decided to crawl. Way to go, crazy baby!


Some favorite photos: This one of Oliver's hair the day he got it cut last. He calls it "Leo hair" because it sticks up like Leo's on Little Einsteins.

And this one of Violet learning her place as a woman. That is, being chubby and baking treats which she will eat all by herself.


We are loving Seattle still even though we have had to get creative for ways to play indoors, and I'm not very good at it! We've resorted to McDonald's playland and the filthy play area at the mall.

I love the diversity of Seattle, especially after living in Utah Valley for 3.5 years. ;) Oliver was running laps around the play structure at the mall along with three other boys almost exactly his size and as they all would run by I couldn't help but repeat to myself each time, "Black, Asian, Indian, and then the pasty white kid. Black, Asian, Indian, white kid." It really is refreshing.
