Kat observes history, Jill's visit, promotion

We had to wake Kat up to watch history being made on Tuesday AM.

An early version of Air Force One. l0cated at the Museum of Flight. They also have a Concorde and are hoping to get a space shuttle.

Kat and Ben. She's probably feeding her some of her breakfast.

This is what Dan's co-workers taught her tonite at Dan's promotion celebration. I guess that leaves John to teach her to give the finger.

Dan's co-workers at dinner. NOW I know why the waitress felt the need to take a second photo (this is the first).

Kat and the twins at the Science Center toddler play area

at the water works

As you might imagine, they were quite wet, despite the oilcloth bibs.

Mer, Jill & Kat at our house.

The boys. Could they be cuter?

New Year's

For those of you who have been waiting for new pics with bated breath, sorry. I've been on a book bender the last few weeks. Mostly Jonathan Kellerman with some Agatha Christies and Elizabeth Georges thrown in. Trying to forget it's winter in Seattle?

For New Year's we went to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. We rented a house that didn't have internet access, but did have a hot tub and allowed the boys (without additional cost). We had a lot of fun and it was very relaxing. We even had a brilliant (and cold) sunny day, which we never expected. And on Saturday we got to watch UB play on ESPN (and unfortunately lose) in their first-ever bowl game, which was fun, but could have ended better.

This is the American Camp- one of 2 National Parks on the island- the other being the English Camp- both a result of the last US/Canada border conflict- The Pig War. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pig_War.

Ben doesn't even look guilty- he waited till we were distracted by a loose rottweiler with huge chains around his neck and then grabbed Kat's cheese, wrapper and all, right out of her hand. Or should I say wrestled, cause Dan said she didn't let go willingly. This resulted in much crying. Luckily we had 2 packets of saltines on board and thus bought some time.....

Out of order.... I finally put Kat's train table together (she doesn't actually have a train), without directions, as they have disappeared. She promptly climbed in the trundle drawer. And then on top of the table.

Ben and Boo at Friday Harbor's harbor. We went for a stroll while waiting for the ferry. Ben does the bulk of the baby cleanup, whether necessary or not, but Boo is looking pretty porky these days. Not sure which angle is best to get his picture from.

Now at the English Camp- this is a giant big leaf maple tree. I love how blogger skewed the order of the pics for me.

Still the English Camp
