Tree, Best Christmas Pageant Ever, and decorating!

Hunter Tree Farms for our tree (no sign of Juno the reindeer yet....), Greenlake Bath House for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever play, and Mike reading one of his childhood Christmas books to the girls.  



Cirque du Slalom

Mike's work party was a dress-up again!  The girls loved our hats and we had fun playing on the instruments at the EMP.



The Head and the Heart - Portland with Madeline


Our favorite band!  So good!  But, beware the cinnamon role!

9 year anniversary - yum


Hannukah at the Marowitz's

A night filled with menorahs, trumpets (!), great food and many rounds of dreidel!!  So fun with these guys.





Shopping for a new mattress :)

Macie really wanted a bed with a remote....

Happy Thanksgiving!

We got 2 days of celebrating - at Bob's and then at Cheryl and Tony's with the fam.  





First snow up at Snoqualamie



Room 11 Performance (The Salmon Life Cycle and sign language!)

Macie's class did a great job - she's in the second row, third from the left (navy sweatshirt!).  So good!

Pocock Auction


Dinner with Ama


Hoopin'



Scary SAAS soccer fans!


Uggs!


Caroline's first crossword!

What a proud mama I am!

Bellingham Trail 1/2 Marathon with Madeline

In true Madeline and Sarah form, we didn't check the course before running - they dropped us off and we ran back to the start through the Chuckanut Mountains!  It took a little longer than expected with a net elevation gain!

Head of the Lake, Seattle

I got to race in the Master's Women's 8+ for Pocock (I'm 4-seat) and we won!  Later, I raced the Master's 2x and got a gold medal in that, too.  Fun, exhausting day and great to be back in team boats for the fall!

Halloween - Cowgirl and Ghost!

Look at that scary face on Macie! and our scarecrow, "Buddy!"  What a fun night, walking around our neighborhood and trick-or-treating with Max!


Leaves and Laziness

Bike to School Day

Macie and Caroline got a kick out of biking the 7 blocks to school and then using their bikes and helmets at PE class.  What a great tradition!

Head of the Charles Regatta 2013, Boston

I raced with the Pocock Master's Women in the Master's 8+ (we got 4th) and had such a fun time seeing tons of rowers from my past :)


Pumpkin Patch!

We had a good time picking out our pumpkins at Bob's Farm again this year.  What a beautiful day!



Cowgirls!

The girls and I had a great time getting ourselves ready for Halloween, getting boots, 5-gallon hats :), spurs, and boots.  Look at these cuties!




Macie's family portrait (minus Caroline) - look at those lips!
