We continued our annual tradition of picking raspberries at Schuh Farms. This year, we went early enough that it was still Strawberry season, so we went ahead and picked some of them as well. The boys loved it. Though the strawberry picking was a bit hard on our backs. I slugged through it with the boot though I was worn out by the end of the day.
I have a couple months to catch up with and know that the next few months are going to be super busy as summer usually is. Edward has a swim camp, music camp, a yoga camp, and we have some family coming to visit. That is just July. whew..
I was trying to find some time to update the website when I went and did something stupid:
I fell down some steps and rolled my ankle. Thankfully, I didn’t break it, but I really sprained it. It just means I have to take it easy now, so I am going to have time to get things updated here. My hope is to have it updated in the next week. We will see how it works out.
Our overall December was pretty chill. We still did some things, but we took it easy after the trip to California. We still went to the zoo, decorated for Christmas, had friends over to decorate gingerbread cookies/houses, did our polar express night, attended Snowflake Lane and celebrated Christmas.

We had a crazy busy October. At the beginning of the month, we took the boys to go see the Cirque Du Soleil show Volta. We weren’t completely sure how the boys would do at the show, but we figured the only way to find out was to go. It was an awesome time. The boys had a lot of fun and enjoyed the show. They were on the edge of their seats the whole time watching.Â
Edward also started Kindergarten at the Montessori school We had been struggling with getting him to focus on writing last year, so his teachers pulled out some new material for him this year. We were excited when he brought home a story that he wrote.Â
The ducks got some more outside time and really enjoyed that. Darrell also fixed up some more of their pen so he could clean it out.Â
We did the annual Trick or Treating at Concur and then Darrell took the boys around the neighborhood for Halloween. Morgan likes to help bring the trashcan back up to the house after it is picked up. It is just his size.Â
We had an awesome September. It was quiet time at home, but we spent lots of time with friends. We had a park playdate, went to the Pacific Science Center in Seattle, went to the Bellevue Farmers Market, and played Mini Golf. September is also the time that the Birth Center does their annual Reunion picnic. We love going and catching up with the midwives who delivered Edward and Morgan. It is a fun time of laughter, playing, and face painting.
