Swimming in Seattle!

Saturday Boat Cruise

We spent a great Saturday afternoon, cruising around Lake Union for sweet Anya Arnold's 1st birthday. The weather was perfect, and it was a GREAT way to see our beautiful city and all that it has to offer!!!

Giggle girl!

Wow....this has been such an incredible last 3 1/2 months!!! Sweet Esmee is the most perfect, incredible, amazing addition to our family!! I'm not kidding when I say she is SWEET AS PIE!! She is always smiling and cooing her sweet little sounds. She lights up when anyone comes into her view...especially Millie and Walter. She LOVES to be near us at all times and part of the action. She is an absolute angel and has the best little disposition. She started smiling pretty much from about 3 weeks on and hasn't stopped. The giggles followed shortly after. I have been trying to capture them with little success until now. Here she is laughing away at Mommy's silly (and annoying to most) sounds and faces. Thanks for bringing such incredible joy and happiness into our lives, Esmee....we LOVE you!!!!

BFF's!

The guuuuuuurls!!! Unfortunately, I am just now noticing that my lens had a smudge on it so Sweet Anya has a bit of a blur over her...but I just couldn't resist posting these pictures anyways. Anya came over for a playdate on Tuesday and the girls were having so much fun giggling and rolling around on the floor in the living room. Esmee was right in there with the big girls. There is about a year age difference in between the three of them. Sooooooooo cute!! One for the ages, for sure!!
