Cabin family fun

We have been spoiled this summer with two visits from auntie Janie, Emma and Lily.  It is heartwarming to see the cousins play together and love on each other like they see each other daily.  Elise even stayed two nights at the cabin with auntie, cousins and grandma while I was able to get things done and rest a little with the boys at home.  She was in heaven and is still talking about her sleepover with grandma and auntie.  Thank you Janie for a special visit, we love you so so much.  

Janie & Evan out for a mission to salvage a sunken orange chair that was spotted several days prior, and was 20 feet under water;)

These two were un-separable, so sweet!

The beach & parks... our new relaxation and mode of vacation!

First trip to Seattle

We were all itching to get out of town, especially with the smoky weather, so last week during Evan's week off we spent a few days on the west side.  It was a fun and busy few days visiting the zoo twice, aquarium, Greenlake splash park, Alki beach, and our sweet nephew Owen, Lucie & Quinn.  Babi and deda watched Eli and Finn for a night while we even walked peacefully through UVillage and had a quiet lunch with a newborn.  Peter did fantastic and slept the entire way over the pass. 

Peter got a lot out of the hippo exhibit ;)

Peter's first bath

The first, although a third time around, is still a first and memorable.  Peter's first bath was filled with tears on his part and happy two little helpers from Elise and Finnegan.
