Busy weekend

Somehow this weekend became very, very busy. Well, by our normal standards, anyway. Not a lot of pictures but I thought I would give you the brief rundown:
Thursday:
AM Peregrine's first-ever ice-skating lessons
PM entertaining and serving turkey at our house

Friday:
AM braving the hordes and watching the parade downtown
PM aruchat shabbatt dinner at our friends Carolyn & Jonathan's house (with their daughters Natalia and Tamar)

Saturday:
AM trip to Bainbridge Island to ride the ferry- saw orcas! (sorry, no pics)
PM stump pulling (papa) and gardening (mama). Peregrine was most helpful with both tasks. I am still sore.

Sunday:
AM braving the hordes again - forgot to buy diapers last time. Then, hanging out at Seward Park for some running and playing time.
PM out for pizza with Eric, Sarah, and Scout, followed by the Wildlights at the Zoo, with Pip and Scout looking oh-so-cute riding in a wagon covered in blankets. Parents liked the lights displays and hot cocoa. Scout & Peregrine's highlight was of course the indoor snowball fight which was total chaos. (Snowballs were little puff stuffed things, no actual snow was involved.)

By the end of the weekend, we were all absolutely tuckered out. Fun times!

Fun day!

Took Pip for his first ice skating today. He had a pretty good time! Then we had a very small and nice thanksgiving dinner with uncle loren and grandma pam, and we had a variety of folks stop by to visit but not eat. It was a good day!

Peregrine will have a little brother

...it's time to rename the blog, I guess!

Visit with Grandpa Bruce

Grandpa Bruce made the long trip out to visit with us this last weekend, which was really nice for Peregrine (and mom & dad). Lots of time spent playing and visiting and going to parks and just having a great time. We spent some time at the library, and at Jefferson and Seward parks, and even went to cousins James and Vivi's birthday party at an indoor bouncy park. I think the highlight of the visit for Peregrine, though, was getting to sit on the couch and read books with Grandpa. Lots of books! What a great grandpa! We hope he can visit again soon!

Trick or treat!

Managed to squeak in about an hour of trick-or-treating with Scout, Sarah, and Eric on Wednesday evening. Pippers dressed as a pumpkin at is request, Scout as a ghost. The first couple houses they weren't so sure of all this, but by the time the third stranger answered the door and gave them free candy, they were hooked. And pretty cute, too.
