Halloween 2008
Who can resist dressing up in a good costume? Certainly not a 2 year old who knows candy is at stake :).[nov. '08]

Summer 2008
Our many and varied summer activies...from a wedding to chasing pigeons. We made the most of the good weather, but it still went by much too fast![nov. '08]

Celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary
We had a nice dinner on out anniversary, then escaped for a weekend away at Alderbrook Resort.[nov. '08]

Oahu vacation
Lucky us! We got to enjoy another sunny week on the Hawaiian island of Oahu - our second in two years. It was so much fun to visit with Ella's Grammy and play in the sand![jun. '08]

Snow day and sledding
Snow! One of our rare Seattle snow storms left us with a few good inches to play in the next morning. Matt was off to work :(, but Ella & I got to do some sledding.[may '08]

Winter 2008
Ella and her cousins, Holly & Wyatt, enjoyed their first (of many, we hope) cousins' sleepover and Grandma & Grandpa Gowdy's. We also got lucky with a cool but beautifully sunny day at Fort Casey.[may '08]

Ella Turns Two!
Two years old, two parties, and lots of friends and family to celebrate with![feb. '08]
