 Face paining!

Lollipops! We went to the trick or treat in the West Seattle Junction, since John and I are both working on Halloween this year. It was fun and the kids enjoyed the crafts, guide dogs, face painting and candy!

Pony Rides at the YMCA

The kids, my mom and I got to go to a Fall Fair last Sunday! Cozy Nana and I loved seeing the smiles on their faces! Between the baby animal petty zoo, bouncy house, playdough station, bird house making, pumpkin painting, and pony rides, wow! While waiting in the long line for the pony ride we ran into our good friends, Dale, Kate, Sabine and Ingrid! It made the waiting much sweeter! Thanks for making it possible Cozy!

Friends

Jamie's second daughter, Anya got to come over to our house today! It was so much fun to watch her and Juliette play together. They played kitchen, dress up and shared so well. I can tell they have both gotten a lot of practice sharing with their older siblings! 9 months apart may also be an easier age gap than 4, like their older siblings too!
Looking forward to more fun together, Anya!

Playgarden Pictures

I forgot to post these two pictures from Playgarden camp this last summer! Luca had such a blast at camp! This last Friday, Luca got to join Juliette at preschool, as Seattle Public Schools had and in-service day. I stayed on campus and Luca just had a blast and said, "I wish I could still be in preschool, I LOVE the playgarden!" Grateful that he can spend time over the summer at the PlayGarden and during the open events during the year. What a magical place to be apart of!

Dress up time!

Luca the pirate!

Juliette Elizabeth

Juliette is growing up fast! She started preschool in Sept. She is going to the playgarden preschool on Monday and Friday mornings. I feel like she is quickly turning from toddler to little girl. Juliette is tall for her age and quite expressive. She has recently gotten into dress up, jewelry, and anything sparkly.
Here is a picture of her preschool class and another of her doing one of the things she loves to do most, looking at books while looking adorable!
