Touring Memory Lane


The cherry trees are in bloom in the Northwest and one of our favorite places to see them is on the University of Washington's campus..Of course this happens to be Peter's alma mater. The trees are getting old and diseased though so they actually weren't that amazing this year..Instead we toured the library and checked out it's beautiful features..The kids had fun anyway.



Happy Birthday Anna-Maria!


Anna-Maria is 7 years old. Her birthday was celebrated over a few days. First we went to Grandma and Grandpa Hessler's for a couple of days. There she got to celebrate her birthday with her cousins and Aunt and Uncle..She loved the attention of course and the gifts. The night before her birthday we went to Ikea for dinner and to collect the free birthday flashlight..Big stuff here..The night of her actual birthday we had a family party. Nana and Papa came up from Oregon and her Aunt Kristi came over from Seattle. She was very excited, probably because she is counting down to when she turns 8.

Her new taller bike..




Goof offs..

She loves her Ginny doll and the clothes Nana made.

Fabulous Cupcake Pjs provided by Aunt Kristi...

Rattlesnake lake








I know I should feel guilty for enjoying such nice weather while others in the States are suffering...but I don't...It was a gorgeous day up in the mountains..We walked around Rattlesnake lake near North Bend..The only wild life I spotted were my own kids...
