Xander and Clare

We went to Kate and Jessica's late Saturday afternoon
for a quick overnight visit.


Like mother, like daughter. Clare carried around this digital camera all night.


Henry!

Building a "mountain."


Dinnertime for the bigger little ones (Clare was already asleep).


Bedtime books. Xander slept on the family room couch for the first time.


Walking to the light rail station Sunday morning.


Cooper inside during a quick pitstop.


Clare waiting outside.


Ready for our first ride.




Clare and Michael on the train, headed to Safeco Field.


This was the point where we decided we wouldn't be going in for Fanfest after all. The crowds and lines were enormous. Maybe next year.


Xander was, understandably, very disappointed.


Clare, Henry, and Cooper didn't really care either way.
Even though it wasn't the day we'd planned, we still fit in
some fun -- and Xander bounced back quickly.
