And now there are 14......

Curtis Hawkins arrived August 27th. Welcome Curtis!!!



Spending time with little ones again is a real adventure. A typical day with these two is breakfast, nap, snack, lunch, snack, nap, dinner, bedtime. Works for them, works for me! Rowen eats twice as much as Aleana!


A girls only picture - Tenajha, Taunie, Serina, & Aleana.


Family time.

Rowen giving loves to Curtis.

One adventure we had was catching bugs. Here are Rowen and Aleana with their bug kits.

Another adventure was balloon time!

While waiting in line for the Mariners game - we went early because they were giving away 15,000 Mariners blankets - Rowen found a nice lady and temporarily borrowed her cane named Rosey. (See the roses?) Next Rowen waited by the entrance trying to figure out just how he could sneak in.






He was very patient.

Aleana admired the flowers!

Once through the gate we found tons of food to choose from. I decided on a pulled pork sandwich. Ummmmmm.

Rowen and Aleana watching the game. The roof of Safeco Field was open during the game even though there were some threatening clouds earlier in the evening.
This is a typical picture of Rowen - motion every second. I was fortunate to get some great pictures of him.

Rowen playing behind the horsey I made for the kids.

My visit was way too short!

What a fun way to catch up with your tribe~ I also enjoyed the Dau reunion :) Thank heaven for cameras and blogs! The Olive place looked interesting - I love olives, almost any kind! Duchess is a LOT bigger than I thought she would get - and she is truly the duchess (or queen, maybe) of the couch, eh?
Thanks for the fun :)

Thanks for "stopping by"! We are driving up to see Todd and his family soon and then to Trent's in November for baby's blessing. Short trips but so important! We'll see Callen for the first time in about 6 years - just before he turns 21! Oh, and Duchess is bigger than we thought she would be as well - she has been on a diet since February and has lost a little. Cut back on her treats! Trent & Janel's new dog is Duke. Interesting if we ever get the Duke and Duchess together!
