Things we love: Reading and Jasmine. Jasmine has taken to sleeping with Emily on cold nights.

Tree Lighting at the Landing

We went to the Landing for a tree lighting. We rode the train and saw the reindeer, but it was freezing so we didn't stick around for the tree.

Yahoo Baby!

Mimi and Papa watched Emily to give us a night off. This is what happened.

Storytime at the Library

A rare photo of Emily sitting still.

Trick or Treat

Emily went Trick or Treating with the neighborhood kids this year. Bryce was a Mummy, Nathaniel was a Train Conductor and Baby Warren was a Frog. Emily said some or all of these things at the doors:

Trick-or-treat!
Go Huskies!
Thank you!
Happy Halloween!



She got a lot of loot including two big bags of candy just for her from our neighbors. She has made a good impression on them apparently.

Ginny

The forgotten cat had her tenth birthday. We made a big deal out if it. We sang Happy Birthday for 3 days.

Potty Training

We've been trying this deal out for a while, its fun. Our best results come from Dave making a huge fire and then us letting her be naked. She makes it to the potty 90% of the time. The house is so hot she doesn't mind.

Woodland Park Zoo

Our first family trip to the zoo was a hit. Emily liked all the animals but the bears.

Pumpkin Patches

Here are some of our trips to the pumpkin patches. Emily and I went to Remlingers with RMG during the week and Dave came with us to one on the weekend. She wore the same outfit to both so there you go.

Clam Digging in Westport

Here is what it looked like when we went clam digging. Very nice two of the days and monsoon rain and wind the last day of digging. We got our limits twice.

Emily Hits Pikes Place Market

Old Friends Visit

Alyssa, Marissa and Shabana visit for the weekend. Here we are at Umi, the best sushi in Seattle. We had a great weekend. Funny to think we all met in September 1994.

Mom's Birthday Getaway

My mom, Julie aka Mimi had a big birthday this year. We celebrated at Val's lake house in Orgeon. Thanks Val!!! It was like a giant slumber party, but with better food and drink.
