Catching Up - Summer/Fall 2010

As I looked back through my "recent" posts, I realized just how badly we've neglected this poor blog since last summer. So, to begin my penance, here are some photos from last summer/fall...up through Halloween-ish. Clara's fourth birthday, Christmas, and beyond to come soon.

Here are a few favorite outside activities we enjoyed during the three most perfect summer months you can find anywhere. Seriously, summer in Seattle is awesome. The other nine months...well, we don't talk about those.

Backyard picnics, where Anna discovered a love of salsa, and Clara got as much cream in her belly as she did on her nose:



Enjoying the sunshine at one of the many city parks:

Sidewalk chalk isn't just for the sidewalk:





And on those days when the weather isn't quite so fabulous, we find ways to stay entertained:





Anna's self-feeding skills keeps improving...except when it comes to spaghetti:


And, last, but not least, a picture of the Halloween costumes Clara came up with. Here are our little fairy princess and bumblebee all ready to hit the Stake Trunk or Treat:
