so-so vancouver


we had three days off together , so after kat's school friday we headed north to vancouver bc. it was a rather rough weekend unfortunately. both because we don't like crowds and everything was crowded and because kaitlyn was trying out her newfound talent for whining and matt was as usual in three hundred directions at once - or in one memorable moment - flat on his back (picture of this) at the aquarium for about 10 minutes. would scream bloody murder and become violent if attempts were made to move him so i just sat and watched that no one stepped on him until he decided to get up on his own. oh well. as far as vancouver for kids - well stanley park was great sunday probably the best day just spent playground hopping. then of course pagliacci's and hagen-daz on the ave in seattle on the way home.

pumpkin patch cousins









1 week ago - pumpkin patch with cousins - lots of fun

grandma visit


grandma stayed with us for over a week after my surgery. it was great - i don't know what we would have done without her. on her last day here when i was getting more active we did a 1 mile trail loop at the nature center. the kids enjoyed it more than it appears in this picture
