Her best feature highlighted


Wait a minute... who's for dinner?

Veteran's Day at the Zoo


The girls had no school on Wednesday, so we took off, ate breakfast in Bellevue with Grammy, and then headed down to the zoo. Apparently we weren't the only ones with the idea, since it seems every other school district was also out of school and all the kids were there with us. But even as crowded as it was, we had a great time.

It's been great to use our annual membership - it was so very worth the cost! We've been lots of times since the summer, and our girls are still just as excited each time as they were the first. Karina even drew a picture for Russ, the elephant keeper. She's now decided she still wants to be a firefighter when she grows up, but on her off-days she wants to work part-time as an elephant keeper with Russ. He was very excited, and promised to hang the picture up in his office.

Pumpkin Patch - UPDATED

We had a great time a the best pumpkin patch in the world. So many fun things for the kids to do - we'll post more pictures on our family blog shortly... or at least we'll try (when it's not 11:30pm)
