Xander and Clare

Xander's babysitter Drew drew the picture of Xander on the left
and he drew one of her on the right. Too funny. I love how he
spelled her name.


Just chilling with Dr. Seuss.


Clare suddenly loves having us read to her and asks for it all day,
seemingly non-stop.




Kiss!




We had a fun family day in Seattle last week and ate the best burgers
known to man at a new place in Fremont called Uneeda Burger.


Then we headed to the Space Needle. Xander was so excited.


After the world's most expensive elevator ride, we were at the top.


A few minutes later, Clare started complaining (loudly) that she
wanted to get back in the elevator for the ride down.


Gorgeous views, but Xander was really only interested in seeing
Safeco and Qwest Fields.




And a few minutes after Michael took Clare back inside,
Xander complained that he was too cold, and we joined them.








Back on solid ground.




The fountain at Seattle Center wasn't on, but the kids still had fun
running around down inside it.


I snapped this photo from the car of Qwest Field for Xander.


And in big news: Clare is no longer in a crib!
Here she is the first night in her big girl bed.
