We’re in town! Family dinner. Elliot’s birthday. Plus, we needed to oooh and ahhh over Colt and Emily’s new nursery and everything Gretchen has made...thus far.

Well, we ‘were’ in Calistoga, but we headed north to check on Grandpa instead. Luckily, Xanna has a closet to pilfer for warmth! 

Baby Loves Disco, Halloween party! Our friend Spencer puts on an annual family dance jam in costume each year, and we’re the lucky ones who got to go! We initially considered dressing as Californians as we had packed shorts, but decided the dance floor judges only our smooth moves and layered up instead.

This girl comes from a long line of food lovers and grocery shoppers. Really, when isn’t there a time to stock-up?

We headed over to the Mahan’s on Bainbridge Island today. What a super fantastic quintessential fall day! 

Allison is having a baby girl in April, due on our wedding anniversary! Or Lummi’s birthday if she arrives a week early:) In total, we have three more cousins on their way - Colt & Emily in November, Matt & Becca in December, and Allison & Sam in April!

Dim sum! Meryl wore her “I’m All That and Dim Sum” t-shirt for the occasion as well:) Chicken feet, dumplings, steamed buns, and sesame balls...she ate it alllllll.

With Lummi! 

Maya recently moved into a new house (luckily, still on Queen Anne!), which means boxes for playing! And we now know what Meryl will be asking Santa for this year.

Meryl is so proud of herself for now being able to climb into her chair...again, and again, and again:)
