Seriously, we're terrible at the family photo thing...





One of these days we're going to remember to have somebody take a picture of all of us.

Back from Les Bois

Ellie, Min and I had an awesome time in Boise. It was great seeing old friends and showing Eleanor around my former stomping grounds.*

We got to stay with Matt, Heidi, Ellery and the newest arrivals, Max and Sam.

It was really interesting to see the kids in comparison to when Matt and Heidi brought Ellery to Seattle last August.



Eleanor's close to the same age that Ellery was then.



And Max and Sam are pretty much the age that Ellie was.



The twins are super cute and Ellery has turned from baby to full-on kid.



Min, Matt, Heidi and I are all just one year older. Sigh...





*Not much stomping was actually done.

I know, I know...

Bad blogger.

I'll take some pics and post them soon!

Here are a few recent ones to tide you over...*








*Unless you're on Facebook, then sorry for the repeat.

We already miss you...

Though we're very, very happy for her, Ellie's Aunt Jules is leaving for Copenhagen tomorrow and we're very, very sad to see her (and Uncle E.) go.



Julie has been Eleanor's nanny for the last year and the relationship the two of them have is pretty incredible.

We want to wish Julie and Eric an amazing 10 months in Denmark and say thank you to Julie for being such a wonderful and loving caregiver to our little lady. Julie has been an incomparable Aunt, teacher and friend to Ellie every single day. She couldn't have been in better hands and we couldn't have felt better about having her with anyone.

We love you both very much and we're going to miss you more than you know. Especially Eleanor.



Vi elske jer! We'll see you on Skype soon.

Ellie, point to the questionable object Grammy put in your hair...

Introducting the Ikea Kuute



Contrary to appearances, standing on our new chair is even more popular than sitting in it.
