The First Day of School!

Here are Joe and Liz on their first day of school. Liz and Mom made her bag. Reversible checkers and peace signs. Joe decided not to wear the hat and scarf before he left. Both came home pretty happy with their first day of school and we all went out to ice cream to celebrate!

The Lowest Tide of the Year

A bunch of friends and I brought our children to the beach for the lowest tide of the year. Although it was a warm day (80+) it was a typical Washington beach (lots of rocks) with typical Washington weather (notice the lack of swimsuit-clad-tan-skin). They caught crabs, eels and even some squids. Here are a few pictures from the day. Check out what we hoped was a Momma and baby crab and not some sort of caniballistic situation.
