cousin time

My cousin, Kathryn came to visit for a couple days. It was very special for me, as we didn't grow up together. I love how family is family- or at least in my family it is. Even though we were provinces apart during our childhood, I think we are quite similar now, as adults. Anyway- the kids and I had a lot of fun on an all day adventure downtown Seattle with Kathryn. We took the bus and did a lot of sightseeing. We even took a ferry ride to Bainbridge Island. I didn't bring my camera (it's something I have been doing more and more of since this pregnancy- not bringing my camera out) so these are compliments of Katheryn.

This is taken in the Seattle Public Library. It's a crazy building. Not sure how one would describe it. It's very modern and creative.

This one is my favorite (it's our screen saver on our home computer):

Aquarium Day

My good friend, Stephanie, and I took our kids down to the Seattle aquarium on Thursday. Exactly a week after my parents and the kids and I went! (those photos are yet to come. As soon as my mom can burn me a CD of all the photos she took while she was here. I had a live in photographer for a few days.) Here are some fun ones of Jake and his best bud, Joshua- dressed in matching outfits!!

Zazie trying to capture the boys

Little Annalise is such a ham! I have taken portraits of her for Stephanie since she was pregnant with Annalise. Anytime I pull out my camera, she preforms for me flawlessly!! I have about 8-10 photos of her smiling away from the day! Everytime I would try to get her in action looking at fish or something, she'd turn around and grin!
