Hello, world! We are here and we miss you! It's been a crazy fall since Tish has been teaching at Seattle University and Morgan has been busy with his post-doc at UW. So we have a lot of catching up to do - hold on to your hats!
First up: way back in JULY, we had a great trip to Lake Michigan with Jason, Elizabeth, Brent and Melissa and their wonderful kiddos.

We miss that sun now!
Brent, Aurelia, Charlie and Melissa
Chilling with Charlie - the wagon was a big hit.
She loved those watering cans!
....But sometimes they made her sad.
Parade of kiddos
The big-eye is alive and well!
Our next trip was to San Diego for Britt and Tanner's beautiful wedding! We got lots of family time, especially playing with cousins!

Learning all about kelp
We were bad parents and forgot the bottom half of her bathing suit. And also her swim diaper.
This didn't seem to slow her down in the least.
At Balboa Park with Grandpa Rocket
Such a good visit!
And here we are back in Seattle, where suddenly Fall happened.
At the zoo with Auntie Hallie
And the aquarium!
Checking out the anemones and urchins
And the jellyfish
Splashing with Auntie Hallie
Driving the bus at the Children's museum
"Hello?" "Hello?" What the photo doesn't show is the big line of kids at the Children's Museum waiting to use the phone.
Reluctantly hanging up
Rock me mama like a wagon wheel.... and little kid rite of passage, the first Autumn-time pumpkin patch
The wagon ride was pretty intense.
But the pumpkins were fascinating
As was the wheel barrow
Picking out her pumpkin
Showing it to Bubbie

Our little owl and a logger
Owl and her dragon buddy.
The best we could do with the owl goggles was get her to wear them around her neck!
