Warming Up!

Last Saturday we went to the Seattle Center (home of the Space Needle) on a lovely warm day. We were there to see Sidi Goma at Giant Magnet (formerly the Seattle International Children's Festival) and to visit the International Fountain. Had a great time and Lucas loved it so much we went back for more the next day.











I love having free entertainment options like this nearby! (Well, except for parking...)

At the Tulip Festival

Ho visitors! Welcome back...

If you go north of Seattle an hour or so on I-5 you'll run into the Skagit Valley, home to more tulips than anywhere else in America. Every year there's a Tulip Festival to celebrate. This year Cris's parents were in town and we took an excursion.

Sister + kids

 

It's been awhile since I've made it home to Alabama, so sister and family pictures were in order. Of course, once you start gettting beyond two people in a photo the chances of getting a good one go way down. So I think we made out pretty well with this one. There were 3 or 4 other cameras firing so hopefully I'll get some other group shots to remember this visit by as well. It was a good time all hanging out together and doing little more than socializing and eating.

Love you Nana!

 

The kids, up close and personal

I just have to show off our beautiful children... You really should click on the pictures and see them full size. So what's up with the family these days?

Wren's very chatty and has a new tea set and a Cabbage Patch doll from Nana she's quite into.

Lucas is busy with trains and rockets. I'm reading The Chronicles of Narnia to him--we're in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader currently.

I'll try to come up with transcripts of something clever or hilarious the kids say--they're a hoot--but like most parents we usually forget to write them down when they happen.
