Xander and Clare

Sigh. That was not a good day.

Michael snapped this photo of Xander's artwork
on Curriculum Night.

Michael also snapped this one when he took
Clare to Bliss Desserts for a treat.

The Rosellis came over!

Lexi asked me to take a photo of just her and X.

The boys went to the final Mariners game of the season where they
met up with our Olympia neighbors to celebrate X's birthday.
Clare and I stayed home and made goofy faces at the computer.

Even though they now live 150 miles apart, I suspect
these amazing kids will always be friends.

Getting an autograph from Mariners pitcher Lucas Luetge.

I have no idea.

On the giant scoreboard!

 

Watching the Seahawks game with me.

Clare's favorite thing right now is talking Xander
into playing trains with her. He builds stadiums
next to her railyway.

Bus stop-bound.

Reading to Michael.

Clare started soccer this week!

Xander got to play with our friend Archer (whose little brother
had soccer practice right before Clare's).

Checking out the Y's climbing wall on the way out.

Making something for Baby Rhone.

All dressed up for a big day at the Lynden train show with
her buddy Emerson and his parents.

Five-year-old teenager-in-training waiting outside for her ride.

 

Watching the Seahawks game (this was when they were still winning).

An old classmate of Xander's from Olympia worked all spring
to earn this prize (a Mariner Moose doll) so she could send it to Xander.
Is that not the sweetest thing you've ever heard?
