Christmas 2007
The holiday was so much fun with Ella this year - how great to see the wonder and excitement we had in our own childhoods. She loved the tree, the traditions, and the gifts![feb. '08]

Snowy getaway
We joined a group of friends and their families for a great weekend at a cabin in the Cascades. There was lots of snow, and the tree lighting in Leavenworth was beautiful![dec. '07]

Fall 2007
An assortment of photos from this fall. Halloween was a big hit with Ella - though the costume was still more fun than the candy.[dec. '07]

Trip to Portland, 2007
We headed to Portland for a visit with Ella's cousin Sydney, and for Carlin's Uncle's 65th birthday party. There were street cars, trams, and a trip to the zoo, too![dec. '07]

Ella Goes to the Polls
Come along with Ella in what may be her final trip to an actual polling place (mail-in ballots are coming...).[nov. '07]

Summer 2007
Lots of summer fun: playing in the backyard, Ella in the kiddie pool, and Matt finishing his very first triathalon. Go Matt![oct. '07]

Patio for us, Playhouse for Ella
Just as the landscapers were completing out new flagstone patio and paths, Matt & my Dad got to work on assembling and customizing Ella's new playhouse.[jun. '07]

Ella, 16-18 Months
Fun at home and with her best buddies.[jun. '07]
