A last long look

Just some of the fun memories that didn’t get posted yet…

Very sporty

Lots of activity, lots of play, & lots of sports at the lake.  The smash ball didn’t last long, and neither did the racquet balls that we bought to play with paddles (they were all eaten by the ivy), but baseball & golf turned out to be quite fun for everyone – and we even managed to get Sophia her first clubs while we were in San Francisco!  So exciting (for me at least!)

With Brehan around there was a lot of catch, and even some baseball played but large amounts of people.  Lots of lost balls this year!

   

Our family!

Just a few photos of all of us together during the summer!!  Brehan has been gone the past few summers, but he & Caro were with us for a few weeks, and since Christmas is always so busy we thought we would take advantage of a few lazy evenings & take some photos with the lake light!

The last days

You would think that leaving after 6 weeks would be an easy thing, but after the summer we have had I’m afraid there is going to be lots of tears at the airport.  Troy has been back at work this week, & mom & dad are at the ring, so we decided to take Wednesday afternoon & make it our big goodbye.  (Troy’s wonderful idea!).  Troy & dad left work really early, and we all hung out in the water & had a great day of play, before the days of packing commence…

    

Thanks again everyone for making our time in Seattle so special!

Breakfast with 3 Five year olds, and a couple of little ones…

We finally were able to get Sophia, MacKenzie and Liam together for a play morning.  It is amazing to see them all together over the years. 

2005…2006 2008 2009 And they are still having fun!

And, there are the 2 new little ones, Alexandra & Ava

Alexandra is just obsessed with belly buttons right now.
