Fresh Pasta

 Max asked for a pasta maker for his birthday. 
An interesting, but tasty choice.
Well, his wish was granted.

The kids have been enjoying 

trying out different size noodles.

Fresh pasta!

 Today this guy is eleven years old.

A very happy birthday to our boy --

the one who is fierce, driven, funny, sarcastic and sweet -- 

all rolled into one.

You make us laugh, you make us proud.

We love you.

Fun supporting Seattle sports

 Hooray for Husky football season!

Carmen had a blast cheering on the Storm with her friends.

Bainbridge Island

 We spent the last day of summer vacation on Bainbridge.

It's a day trip we used to do often.

Over the years with busy schedules, it's fallen off the calendar.

This year, we brought it back.

We ferried to Bainbridge, explored the waterfront,

window shopped, had lunch and of course some treats.

It was a fun day rekindling the love for this local attraction.
