More Mia!

On Sunday, I finally got to hold her again.  Looks like she still likes me!

Ellie is having a great time with Mia!

Baby Mia!

On Friday night, Ben got to meet Mia for the first time.  I think they like each other.

Mia looks great after her international jet-setting!

She even looks good with minimal clothing.

We finally got to share a bunch of Ellie's baby clothes!

Puyallup Fair

Ellie had a couple of days off from school last week, so on Tuesday, we went to the Puyallup Fair.  We saw a few animals, saw a horse show, rode a few rides, had a few treats. It was 87 degrees when we left and quite possibly the last day of summer...

Apple Pressing

Also a couple weeks ago, we went out to Amy's parents' place for a good old fashioned apple pressing.  Ellie had a great time playing in the playhouse with friends (Quinn, Cameron and Alex).  We also squeezed some apples and made some juice!

Gettin' our hairs did

This is from a couple of weeks ago, but Ellie got her first professional pre-cut shampoo...

Back-to-School Girl

On Tuesday, Ellie started her pre-k school year at the JCC. She's in a new classroom with new-ish teachers and a lot of new friends.  Her classroom is named "Kavanah" which means "intention."

And then it was time for some friends to join in the fun

We celebrated Quinn's second birthday with her.  She enjoyed her new circus tent!

Ellie and Quinn enjoyed being silly together.

This was going to be a great family shot of the Thompsons, but now its a great shot of the Thompsons with Ellie!

Canoe adventure!

Sunset cruise

Could they BE any cuter?!
