Oma's Visit

We had a wonderful time with Oma last weekend.  We did Halloween crafts, hung out at a lake, spent an evening playing games/reading/stargazing in the tent, went to the Washington State Fair, and celebrated Evan's birthday two days early.  We were sad to see her go!

 I love my new Patriots jersey!  It matches the red, white, and blue nails that Oma had for the Patriots tailgate party she threw last weekend.

Happy 7th Birthday, Evan!

Hard to believe that our boy is 7 already!  He is growing to be such a creative, determined, and caring young man.  We can't wait to see what's in store this year!

Labor Day Weekend

We had our annual Labor Day weekend clam boil and caught our last crabs of the season.  As usual, we had great weather, great food, and great company!

 

Heading out for a load of crabs.

I really got the hang of cleaning the crabs this time around and can now do it all by myself!

And trying out the rope swing.

 Clam boil time!  Thanks, Dad!
