Robinette's Apple Haus

Just catching up on the last several months of my minimal posting:

Robinette's is a favorite local place of ours. On nice days we will often take a lunch there and let the kids run free. They make yummy treats inside and have a cute farm store where every year we stock up on their honeycrisp apples

This was back when Lilly was just barely sitting up.

Of course now she's the fastest thing on knees this side of the Mississippi

Ah back in the day when we had our Brittany every day...
She's our best babysitter ever
(even if she is our only babysitter...)

Kota's Konstruction Party

My first born turns 3!
So what else could we possibly have themed his party?
Thanks to all that came and went wild with us

Our Washington Trip

I am still amazed at just how much luggage and heft it takes to travel anywhere with small baby/children. Even with our best attempt yet at traveling light. Still, we had a very nice visit with family from both sides. This trip was primarily for Keith to present research at the Plastic Surgery Conference in Seattle. We stayed at a fabulous hotel for the first few days there. Then G&G Neaman took the kids home with them for a couple nights. That was our first real time (and my first night yet) alone without kids in THREE YEARS! They did great but I think we need more practice (wink wink)

We also enjoyed a couple nights with my Dad & Lisa & Duncan at "the Barn". We had one beautiful, yet cold, day without rain. Kota had the best time running around and of course his big day out with Grandpa N to go see real diggers. We will not likely make it back out there for quite some time though it was so wonderful to breath in that fresh coastal air...

My dear sweet Grandmother; You were loved and will be missed.
I treasure my memories of you.
May you be in peace with Grandpa forever.
I love you
