End of the Season

Both girls had great seasons. We had a lot of fun Saturdays. Rachel's team was the Blue Dolphins and Lauren's team was the Blue Mermaids. Go Blue!

2.5 lbs each!

Rachel was a queen (i.e. do not say princess!). Lauren was a gymnast but then came home from school a cat. On Halloween, Lauren went straight from soccer to a party and trick-or-treating as a soccer player. So 3 costumes in all. Both girls scored big with candy - 2.5 lbs each!

New Roly Poly Species

Roly Polys have always been Lauren's favorite. Recently we found an orange one. Just in time for Halloween? I love the close up Lauren's fingers. They usually have paint or markers and this day was no different.

95!

Happy Birthday Sam! We were so happy to come out and celebrate your big 95.

Happy Decade!

Alex and I celebrated our 10 year Anniversary in Half Moon Bay. So for those of you counting that is 20 years together now and more than half our lives. Yay for us! And thanks to Auntie Jill for taking the girls for two nights! They had a blast.

We all had a great time in San Juan and Palm Desert. Too many great pictures to choose from. Lots of swimming and playing with the cousins.
