As we get closer to our adventures, we keep getting asked if we are taking our dog. It’s a funny question to me. We’ve had Gracie longer then we have had the girls. She will be 12 this October 12th; her golden birthday. Aside from the fact she has been having bits of ear and skin issues, she is still pretty youthful. I have no doubt that she will thoroughly love our adventures and being able to roam outside, and explore alongside of us.

Soaking In Some Seattle History
My kind neighbor knocked at my door a few days ago; probably from the wafting aroma of freshly baked double chocolate chip cookies. He loves my cookies! He brought me an old book from his library collection, as a loan. It’s titled, Sons Of The Profits. In return, I filled up a plate full of cookies. Good trade, in my opinion! I was looking for a new book to read. This book is on the history of Seattle. Plus, I’m a sucker for design and immediately fell in love with the cover before even cracking the book open. I figure it ought be the perfect book, for providing me with some background on where we will soon be.
Sous Chefs
I can vividly remember helping my own mom in the kitchen, and how excited I was to be able to. It made me feel so grown up. It was by assisting my mom, that my love for cooking was established. It is a skill I want to pass along to my three daughters, in hopes the same passion will be inside them. But more importantly, I hope to instill in them, the desire to pursue what THEY are passionate about. It’s by embracing each child as an individual, that you breathe life into their own creativity. Allowing kids to explore only opens their eyes to more options.
