Fall at Sunfield

Sas in Spokane

A great visit. Got to spend a lot of time with her "sister," Anna.






Got to hang out with the peeps at the new Comstock Pool.






Played till sunset with Anna and Arianna in Lake CDA.








And got to re-visit Hills' Resort at Priest Lake.

Good-bye to the Ybarras:(

So sad to see Thomas, Julie and RubyVal leave PT, but we feel so blessed to have had them on the mainland for the last 3 years. We'll miss you lots.

RubyVal's Half Birthday

We got to celebrate RubyVal's 2-and-a-half birthday with her and we are so sad we are going to miss her 3rd. Maybe we can do 3-and-a-half in Maui!

Trip to Whidbey

Took our bikes on the ferry to Whidbey Island with some friends from school to swim OUTSIDE at the Camp Casey pool.

It was actually warm enough and clear as a bell.


















Mama even got a sunburn.

Prairie Girl

Upon arriving at this prairie overlook on Whidbey Island, Saskia threw open her arms and declared, "I want to live here!"

Sas and New Friends

We had the good fortune to meet up with Vivienne and Natasha, and their way cool moms, Megan and Diana, at Deception Pass State Park. The girls played great together. Hope we can do it again next year.

Sas XC @ Olympic National Park

Five hours in the car, two hour looking for snowpants, for half an hour on skis. Was it worth it? Sas says "yeah, I think it's worth it."

Holiday Celebrations in OR

We got to spend 5 days visiting friends and relatives in the Portland area. Lots of thanks to Colleen, Bill, Dylan, and Denise for all their hospitality and to Talus and Laurel for being so generous in sharing with their cuz.
