Recent Going Ons

What have we been up to you ask?? Now that the 3 boys are sleeping soundly I shall tell you. Mostly with pictures.

James, my practically 4th brother, flew down for a visit and while he was here
we took a ferry over to Victoria Canada.


And visited the Buchart Gardens...the most beautiful place in the world
Kiel and James spent a day sailing around Orcas Island
And walked Pike Place Market in Seattle while stuffing our faces with donuts the size of our faces
And went to a Mariners baseball game
while, again, stuffing our faces with nachos.

Caleb started swim lessons yesterday. I snagged these two pictures when he was just kicking...not kicking and screaming
Isn't my little Parker Love looking so grown up??
We inherited a grill with our house and I have been putting it to use grilling up anything and everything I can find! These tex-mex stuffed peppers were MIGHTY FINE.
The past few days have been dedicated to getting Kiel ready to start law school. Orientation starts next week and school starts the 27th. He's just a little excited.


In addition to all this evidence of fun, some of my favorite people- my family - came up for a visit and a family wedding. Although things didn't turn out exactly as planned, we had alotta fun! Like always!

And there has been something else exciting and taking up a lot of my time lately...but I don't have pictures yet so I will blog about it soon!

Although we miss our Monday, Friday, and Saturday game nights with Joseph and Mindy and Sunday dinners with Kiel's family and seeing our friends here and there, we are absolutely loving it here and are excited to start this new era of our lives. Kiel is going to do great in law school and I am enjoying every moment with my boys. Life is good!
