We went to Mama Katie’s for Trick-or-Treat and when we pulled up to her house the first thing Katie saw was a huge pile of leaves Austin so kindly raked up. The girls had a blast jumping in the leaf pile with Emerson before we went Trick-or-Treating.

My Beautiful Girls~Fall 2010~
I just love taking pictures of the girls in nature. This day I had planned everything for a perfect fall photo shoot, but there are only so many things one can control. For example, a child’s willingness to have their hair combed, the fact that even though the sun was shinning beautifully, it was only 35 degrees outside and the only coats I had in the car for the girls clashed horribly with their cute fall shirts. Oh well, what really matters is that I think my girls are beautiful even without all of my planning.
I love this one- Sara playing peek-a-boo behind Katie who is trying to get that leaf to stay in her button hole.
My Baby is 3
Sara turned 3 on a beautiful sunny day, but it was freezing cold. Being from California we planned a park birthday party. All the kids had fun, except poor Sara who was freezing and just wanted to go home. When everyone started singing Happy Birthday to her, she started crying and saying “No”. At least the pictures were cute.
Heady Halloween Party 2010
Our first year in Washington I met this cool and crazy lady named Katie in Sara’s Wobblers class. She seemed really nice, and invited me to her annual Halloween Party. Nate of course had been out of town so I struggled to get the girls in their costumes, and get to the party on time. What I didn’t realize was that I was the only adult to show up in full costume. The good news is, that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. The ladies and I, along with our daughters have been close ever since.
This year Katie wanted to be “a blue person from Daddy’s scary movie”. For about a month we threw out different costume ideas, but Katie never waivered, so we found her an Avatar costume. Sara on the other hand wanted to be “Pinkalicious” which was very fitting since she LOVES all things pink.
World Championship Sand Sculpting Competition
We headed to Federal Way to see the World Championship Sand Sculpting Competition. It was amazing to see what people did with sand. ~September 2010~
Murder Mystery Dinner Party
My friend Teresa hosted a really cool Murder Mystery Dinner Party at her beautiful home in Redmond. The theme was Desperate Housewives of King County. My boss was the murder victim, and I was Angela, the young tennis instructor. I had so much fun.
Sara Wants to be Just Like Katie
~September 2010~
This year both of the girls are in school full time. Katie is thriving in Kindergarten, and Sara loves Preschool. Katie has to wear a uniform to school, and on Chapel days she has to wear a certain uniform skirt. Sara wants to be just like her sister, so we had to get her some “school uniforms”. This is her “Chapel uniform”.
Here is another “uniform”:
