Xander and Clare

Playing Scrabble with my girl. 

Ichiro is back with the Mariners!

Xander's new squad (which is made up of all of his Whatcom Middle School classmates who he's played with on D-Block for the past couple of years) have formed a new team, the Squalicum Warriors, and they had their first big tournament last weekend.

Spring has sprung!

The Squalicum Warriors won 5 out of 5 games, beating their rivals from Anacortes, who they've not beat since 5th grade.

Heading back to the team van to go celebrate with pizza.

One last van ride before the weekend is over.

Clare's nest. She's taken a total turn and now keeps her room as tidy as her brother's.

Spring weather and longer days means Clare's got her bike out again, doing laps around the cul de sac with our her neighborhood friends, Sydney and Evangelina.

Got her first Fortnite win!

Michael and Xander snagged tickets to the UW NIT game.

We girls stayed home and had a movie/tv night.

One of the UW players gave Xander his arm band after the big win.

Look closely and you can see Xander and Cade, who went to Silver Beach Elementary together, playing in the under cover area while we waited for the other boys to arrive for carpool out to basketball practice.

Xander's new coach, William, spent his childhood and high school years playing in this gym, out on the Lummi Reservation, and now the boys are getting a chance to have practices here twice a week.
