Rainier Elementary Winter Program

Tonight we attended the Winter Concert; the kids had been working on these songs for over a month! They did so great and it was so fun to see all 3 of them up there singing!

What a fun night!

Dinner with Santa

Last weekend, before exploring Zoolights at Pt. Defiance Zoo, we went to Grandma Janet's house and met Santa! He gave us all gifts and even stayed for dinner! What a wonderful evening!

Thank you Grandma Janet!

Finally, some new picures!

Finally downloaded the special program needed for my canon camera for my new computer and updated the blo9 with a ton new pictures! Two weeks left in the semester, 6 months left at St. Martins! The kids cannot wait for Xmas-more pictures to come!

Here, Koda and Scout got their faces painted at a wonderful church fair we went to














Scout spent about a week pretending to be a cowboy--He would ask," How did they eat with their scarves on?"





















Koda was Sleeping Beauty for Halloween-even had her face painted by our good friend, Uni















Lees Family picture-I think the first one ever-taken at Glenn & Trisha's wedding

San Francisco 2010

I am so thankful we were able to spend this time with Trisha and Glenn and even more thankful that they are in our lives. They welcomed us into their apartment; a bombardment of 3 excited children who had never had the experience of a one-bedroom apartment. From hanging out to adventuring out, it was a time I hope everyone will all remember; I know I will. Thank you so much Glenn and Trish, for everything but especially making my first solo vacation "uncomplicated"! We love you two!

An Afternoon At Alameda Beach

San Francisco was not as warm as I had expected; nevertheless, the water was sure a lot warmer than here! Only being about 65 did not stop the kids from having a great day! Uncle Glenn helped the boys build a seaweed castle/island/barrier and then helped Koda perfect her sand angel. Priceless!
