Doggy Singing "Dog Bones in the Air"

Doggy ... well, he just learnd the song "Dog Bones in the Air' from his teacher Ms. Dog Bone. And then he just loved it so much that he fell in love with that song.

Back at Home

Aaron's baseball season is wrapping up ... but Bree's swimming season is in full force. Lily and Will enjoy it all. And it's time for a family sleepover as well. As Lily and Aaron were packing up, Lily said ... "Let me see. Mommy? Can I take your love with me?"

Singing near Seattle

We sang "I am a B" and "Shake a friend's hand." It was fun!!!!

Last vacation days with the Fab 4

We have been having so much fun with Robin and Serena. We took a visit to the Ballard Locks. The Locks are the most popular destination along the Lake Washington Ship Canal. They are made up of 2 navigational locks, a dam and spillway, a fish ladder, a botanical garden, and a regional visitor center. The locks allow vessels to pass from fresh water Lake Washington, into the salt water of Puget Sound. An amazing place and an amazing engineering feat.

"Leaves of One Tree" Children's Classes

We had a joyful time!

Amazing childrens' classes

We had a wonderful time at the "Leaves of One Tree" Childrens Classes in a beautiful, pastoral setting.

Hanging around with our friends

We've been amazed by Ryan's violin talent. We've cheered on Robin as she swims. We've seen Aaron be inspired by his friends and work on his workbook. We've had wonderful Malaysian food ... So many adventures.

At the beach (the view from our friends' house)

We joined our friends to dig more at the beach -- clams, mussels, objects. Auntie Helen even saved a confused salmon and sent it upstream.

Seattle Aquarium

We went with our old friend Ryan (had not seen him since he moved to Sydney and Seattle) to the wonderful Aquarium!

A cute little zoo in Tacoma (and a duck boat whistle)
