September in Seattle

Yes. It's been a month since we were there. We had such a good time! We ate at some of our old favorite haunts, which I already wrote about, and spent time with our friends. But best of all we had time with Debra and her family.

We stayed at home and played. We went to the park and played. We went for drives. It was all great.

We took a lot of pictures. Here is the gallery, all in one post:

The most stunning view of Mt. Rainier we've ever had flying in. I took this through the plane window.

Jonathan and Debra

Ray, Madeleine, and Diane. Ray is carefully taking care of Diane's blankie. In his rear pocket.

The girls drew pictures of all of us with sidewalk chalk on their backyard fence. This is Diane concentrating hard.

Madeleine, drawing a picture of all of us. You can see Randy on the left, then Debra, then Madeleine, the Diane and Jonathan. She added me and Ray afterward.

Diane

Madeleine. The girl rides around that cul de sac like a demon. 

Sweet Jonathan

Madeleine at St. Edward's State Park. They've added this play area since we moved. It's terrific.

Ray, giving the girls a big push on the swings. Still at St. Ed's

Madeleine and Diane. The weather was glorious while we were there. The park was a perfect place to be.

Diane at St. Ed's.

Sunday we went for a drive to Sand Point and got out for a walk. It was chilly. Jonathan's all bundled up.

I could not get enough time holding this boy. He is growing so fast.

Diane, me, Ray, Madeleine. Pure heaven.

The weekend flew by much too fast.
