Dim the lights, break out the slide projector, and the pop popcorn. It's an oh-so-exciting photo slideshow! It's not like I'm actually trying to *write* a blog or anything.
These are some highlights of our summer, plus photos of the cats (just for Jeremy Webb) and oodles and oodles of photos of Theo for the family.
 |
| Brittany and Pearson's wedding at Wedding Rock, Skiland. |
 |
| Theo, in a post-bath glow of relaxation. Or maybe he's pooping. July 2011. |
 |
| Greg came to visit. We took him to Ivory Jack's so he could prove his mettle with their largest hamburger, retaining his title of King of the Meat. |
 |
| John put Greg to work leading construction efforts on redoing the posts on our deck. See! We provide fun activities for visitors! |
 |
| We attended Luke and Krissi's wedding at Chena Lakes. This was pretty much the most awesome wedding processional ever – a New Orleans style entrance by the groom and his party. |
 |
| At the wedding reception. Where's Theo? Oh my god, we forgot the baby! |
 |
| John spent many days this summer working at the Quist Farm as a farmhand. Foreman Cree Quist watches over his efforts. |

 |
| Great Uncle Paul. |
 |
| The view of Commencement Bay from their patio. I miss this. |

| My fingers are still crossed that the Sounders can somehow pull through. |
 |
| I pulled together a last minute Halloween outfit as a 50s housewife (thanks to Suli's contribution of cat eye glasses). Theo wasn't sure about the whole thing. |
 |
| Today, I dressed Theo up in his Captain Picard onesie and took him to Julia's to get some shots with his godfather. Note the communicator pin on Cree. Rad. |
