Way too long

Enjoying sunny days in Seattle!

Awesome kids

Family time

The weather has been sunny. And in Seattle in means "hurry up and get outside!!" we did a race for colon cancer research and Thursday the kids and I met Gus at Greenlake. Kaylin loved running the race and especially crossing the finish line!

Some day when Luke is a super skier, we will revisit the bink skiing.

Skiing. :)

Party for Luke!

Happy Birthday to our beautiful boy!

 The annual birthday picture!

 Sister came to wake me up too!

 Kaylin making Luke's birthday cake

 A hard loss for the niners today.  But the kids looked cute in Gus and Ben's shirts from when they were kids.

 Luke wanted nothing to do with stopping his movie to blow out the candles.

 The finished cake, made by Kaylin Joanna Stein.  Funfetti- very nice.

First thing Luke said when we woke him up today was "mama". FINALLY!  He said it!  Happy Birthday to the independent, strong-willed little boy.  We love you so much.

Snow!
