I Will Survive

I can shower, dress, and dry my hair in the time it takes for one "Dinosaur Train" episode. Yes, I will use PBS as a babysitter when needed.

Every day the boys open a surprise gift from their parents - the helicopter.

I know it's past Valentines but once a week is all I got folks.

Seattle temple 1st day open after the "Big Snow"

With our principal group. When we attend national conferences together we all go to the temple. There is something wonderful about this group of educators spending their Saturday "free time" at the temple instead of sleeping in or seeing the sights before the classes start.

I said to Mark,"I hope there isn't a wedding today with all the snow covering the pansies." In the background you can see the chilly bride and the photographer trying desperately to choose new photo spots.

See - food in Seattle

Some people eat sea food or fresh produce at Pike's Market in Seattle. I was caught with my bag of fresh hot mini donuts...

First day in Seattle, just rain no more snow. Outside the aquarium.

I need a little Christmas, right this very minute

Baby Paxton on Christmas morning bad picture again in the car seat. We need to try harder!

I'll betcha 2 bucks there is a doe in my backyard!

These 2 young bucks are showing off for a doe that is outside the photo. It was a bit difficult to get the picture, but worth it since I haven't seen this before despite our daily deer visits.
