Welcome Fall--- I think


Well ineviteably it's now Autumn. The leaves are changing- cool crisp air and colder nights are upon us. It was only a matter of time before this was going to happen. Go figure. But that's okay- I have nothing but amazing and fond memories from this summer putting me in an optimistic mood looking forward to what the future holds. With fall comes the final push to be out in the beautiful weather, but also the run of new tv shows and time to watch more movies and figure out what there is to do in Seattle that is inside--- because everything is outside. I want to visit the arboretuem before all the trees loose their leaves. I love photographing children this time of the year as well. Time to bundle up and wear layers. :)
Beyond that- still having fun, focusing on work as usual and watching Kena learn so much in the first grade. She is still busy swimming at her lessons and we're trying to adjust my schedule once a week so I can also get into work earlier and we can hit the swimming pool before it closes for some practice. We'll see how much that happens. But this little angel is practicing and losing her fears of the water. With a little more endurance she'll be swimming like the mermaid she already is.

This past weekend I went with friends to the Italian Festival at the Seattle Science Center. It's so nice to get out and do something besides laying around and doing nothing. Though I love doing that too- it was great to get out to Seattle. There is so much to do down there. Beyond that we ate at Joey's on Lake Union. Ummm- loved it. I could totally see going there for a special occasion or New Years or the like... Speaking of holidays, Halloween is just around the corner and I can hardly wait! It's on a Friday this year, so I plan on taking Makena trick-or-treating then she was invited to spend the evening at a slumber party. This will be my first Halloween where I get dressed up. I'm so excited. With it being on a Friday there are so many different events and parties occuring so regardless there will be fun for all. I can hardly wait to see all the costumes.

I'm leaving you with some new photos from swimming & this past weekend. Enjoy!

My friend Greg "Greggy" from high school- met up at the Rock in Bothell for some drinks- good friends- good times :)

As always, what would be an appearance in photos w/out a photo of me & my partner in crime?!
