By Linda, on November 12th, 2016 Oh goodness, how do I even begin to describe this 3-year-old girl? She’s a FORCE! Her strength, her conviction, her intelligence, her strength, her ninja-slips-away-from-mommy-without-a-sound-skills, her incredible biting ability – I love this girl so. My Gooser, I love being a part of your life.

By Linda, on September 5th, 2016 We have a 5 year old in our house! How fun to celebrate this special boy, and all the ways we’ve grown over these last 5 years to get to today. I’ve remarked several times that if 5 is half as fun as 4 was, we’re in for a really spectacular year. Because 4 was . . . → Read More: Elliott turns 5!
By Linda, on April 29th, 2016 Two awesome outings in April! We are loving this beautiful spring, breaking our usual weekend routines to enjoy the great outdoors and new adventures.

By Linda, on March 27th, 2016 We had a quintessential Seattle Easter today. The last several years we’ve had lovely clear skies for Easter. This year we had off and on rain, which didn’t stop our celebrations but simply required a few rain coats and boots! We welcomed several of our dearest friends to our home – 3 other families from . . . → Read More: Easter bunnies 2016

The frantic pace of life continues, although December was filled with many cherished memories of togetherness, fun, magic, and wonder. Between two busy parents, it’s easy to feel like the activities that come with the holiday season are obligatory. Between work stress and the . . . → Read More: Christmas 2015
By Linda, on November 29th, 2015 What a weekend we’ve had! Instead of cramming multiple families into a small Ballard bungalow, this year we decided to rent a big house as a group to cook and enjoy Thanksgiving dinner together. What a good idea! On Wednesday we headed up to the Cedar Tree House, about 15 miles outside of Bellingham, WA, . . . → Read More: Turkey Day 2015
By Linda, on November 29th, 2015 Darling Nora… my precious pumpkin baby is now a toddler, and it has taken me a month to talk about her birthday. Because I’m sad my baby is growing up? Not exactly – it was actually because of technology fails, one after the next! When the camera card got stuck (and never returned) from the . . . → Read More: Nora turns 2!
By Linda, on September 6th, 2015 Elliott’s birthday marked the end of a really incredible and beautiful summer. The weather has been hot and sunny nearly daily since May (unheard of around here) and I look back over the last few months and know that we took advantage of it! I’m really behind in blog posts for many reasons, but mostly . . . → Read More: Elliott turns 4!
By Linda, on April 6th, 2015 As promised, here is our Easter post. We are on a roll in Seattle, with sunshine-filled Easters for the last 4 years. We stayed away from big community Easter hunts this year. They may be more fun when the kids are bigger, but for now, it feels excessive and they are lucky to have as . . . → Read More: Little Easter bunnies
By Linda, on March 28th, 2015 We’re having an intensely busy but lovely spring. The weather has been unseasonably warm, and we’ve taken advantage of it by getting outside all the time. Since it’s been too long since my last post, I thought I’d share some recent pictures, and show you how big these babies are getting!
