Little Swimmers

As soon as we got to the lake we didn’t even bother to unpack the car, we just found the bathing suits (or swim diapers) and jumped, being joined by Sean & Papa in short order.

Escape to the lake

We needed to pick up a couple things from the lake for the weekend, so we spent a couple hours in the water & imagining what summer & sun look like after weeks of torrential downpour in Munich.  All in all, very promising…  

Backyard

I find it amazing that we have lived in apartments for almost 4-1/2 years now.  I don’t really miss the yard work, but every once in a while, I can understand the need to have a yard again.  Where we could just open the door, and play happens – provided it isn’t really raining. 

Tonight was one of those nights.  Alexandra is still trying to figure out the walking issues, but she had a great time on the stairs, and Sophia loved watering for Nana.  It is another beautiful day in Seattle…  How did we get so very lucky?

Ms at the Mariners

Mom was so fantastic & purchased Mariners tickets for us to come home to on Wednesday.  The girls loved the game, its always so entertaining & such a great show.  There doesn’t seem to be a bad seat in the house, we often change our tickets around the stadium, and today we were right behind home plate, albeit on the 300 level…  4 seats, 4 drinks, 4 dogs  – best entertainment for the family!

We had to leave in the 8th inning, so we didn’t see the team blow up at the end, but while they were ahead it was perfect!

Dancing in Seattle

There are always some special gifts from Nana & Papa when we arrive, and this year was no exception.  Given Sophia’s fun experience in Ballet class, both the girls were given ballet costumes to play in. 

Sophia wore hers all day, including to pick up Sean from his baseball practice.  (unfortunately we only have the memories & stories of her fetching foul balls around the field in her tutu)

Alexandra just loved having something similar to Sophia, and never wanted her skirt off either.

Just a lazy afternoon recovering from jet lag, with a bit of a smile…
