Xander and Clare

Celebrating Anya's 6th birthday at the amazing rec center
at Western Washington University.

Michael and our Bellingham BFF Taya!

After an hour in the pool, the kids moved into the gym.

Combining swinging and football because of course.

Sunday was a gorgeous day for a little soccer at the park down the street.

The Rosellis came over for the Seahawks game Monday night.

Clare's soccer practice Tuesday was a
wear-your-Halloween-costume theme.

This is a combo of a cat costume and fairy wings.
We're calling it a cat fairy.

This is Xander during Game 6 of the World Series -- before
the Red Sox had won. (He was feeling pretty confident.)

Clare, using Michael as a bench and entertaining herself
while the rest of us watch the game.

She doesn't care about the baseball, but always likes to watch
the commercials.

Red Sox win! Red Sox win!

Taking photos of the after-game celebration.

Here's a photo from October 2004 of a newborn Xander
"watching" the Red Sox beat the Yankees before they went on
to win the World Series.

Wearing Red Sox gear to celebrate the big win.

Xander's class has been working for weeks on recreating the dance
to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video so they could perform
it for the kindergarteners as a Halloween surprise.

It was really dark so hard to get any good shots, but here's
X in the middle of the spooky dance.

Clare watching X and the big kids.
