Happy 9th Birthday to our wonderful, kind, smart, creative, athletic, fun and inspirational child!  

Since I last blogged, We celebrated Easter We spent a weekend at the beach (Manzanita) We watched someone go to prom... and graduate. We had a last day of school We celebrated Independence Day We went to California, including a day at Lego Land. We (he) lost a tooth We went wine tasting We saw a concert We drove to Pullman We enjoyed our summer of camps and swimming We sent someone off to college We had a first day of school (Grade 3 and 1) We started fall soccer and watched the leaves change color We went to Vegas and bought new hats We had a visit from my dad and step-mom We lost more teeth We bought a candle because someone is turning 9 on the 18th  We got ready for Halloween What have you been up to? 

Our little man is 6 today.  Growing fast and strong (and highly opinionated).  We couldn't love him more if we tried. Happy Birthday Eli!

GO HAWKS!!

Well, this is it.  The big 40.   Just a few pictures of my metamorphosis (there'd be more but I haven't learned how to scan pictures yet to my Mac).  The "awkward" one would be me in 6th grade.  That hair took a lot of aqua net to perfect.  Ha!   I always thought I would feel so "old" and so "grown up" at 40.  But I still feel like I did as a young adult.  Only smarter.  And with noisier, stiffer joints.   So if this is 40 I say bring it.   I'm ready.
