Continuing along a theme...

Ellie's feeling MUCH better. Grammy and Poppy S. took great care of her this weekend.*

Which was important because last week Ellie's terrible flu turned into an ear infection and then that turned into a ruptured ear drum.

Poor kiddo.

Like I said, she's doing much better now though.




*While we were in Portland and Mindy was sick as a dog with terrible food poisoning. Sigh... So much for that whole vacation plan.

Wheeeeeee!

Hmmm... Should I?

Yeah, what the heck!

Um, okay, so the pictures Curt took are about 10,000 times better...

We had a great time at Ethan's Run

Once again, Ian, Megon and Cameron put on a really wonderful event.

Lots of fun and a lot of money raised for Seattle Children's.







Eleanor's already training for next year...

Not giving up on summer yet...

A balanced breakfast

So today was Ellie's first day of "school"

It's daycare, but we're calling it school to make ourselves feel better about the astounding cost of "tuition."

She leaves with a degree, right?

Eleanor did great. She was super excited to meet all the other kids, play with the cool new toys and jump right in for activities (this morning was art).

She's an awesome kid and definitely ready for all the new stuff to see and learn.

And she fared far better with the drop off and than Min and I.

Okay, me.

Here are a few gorgeous back-to-"school" pics.

Sigh...

Ethan's Run - Year 2

It's time for the second annual Ethan's Run. If you recall, the fun run/walk is a fundraiser for Seattle Children's Hospital and a tribute to the memory of Ian and Megon's son, Ethan.

The event is next Sunday at Seward Park. Min, Ellie and I will be there and we'd love to see you there too. It's a really nice day and a really wonderful cause.

Really hope to see you there!
