June marks the whitewater rafting trip with Sila. The kids love this trip. It’s usually very cold and a bit rainy but a lot of fun.

We are very far behind in posting pictures so here is our November update. We started off the month with a fun party to celebrate Halloween and our friend Annie’s birthday. We spent one day with our friends taking photos of our family but it’s like herding cats when taking pictures of Gabe and Zara – you never know what you’re going to get! We had a lot of fun riding our bikes outside this month. Aunt Debbie came to visit us over Thanksgiving and we had so much fun showing her our favorite park and taking her for hikes.

Summer was beautiful in Seattle and we love spending our weekends enjoying the outdoors. One weekend we went for a bike ride and Z pulled the kids behind his bike on the John Wayne Trail. The kids continue to fight all of the time and at one point Gabe yelled for Z to stop the bike. When we stopped Gabe said he was soaking wet because Zara spilled her water on him. Amy assured him that it was just an accident when Zara piped in “no it wasn’t it was on purpose!”
The kids have started a habit of sleeping together. We didn’t even know they were doing it until we went into their room one morning and found Gabe in Zara’s bed. For the next few weeks we would hear one of them say to the other “do you want to cuddle.” It’s pretty funny how close they are but how much they continue to fight!

Summer finally arrived in June and we had a fun-packed month. We started off the month attending a “Touch-a-Truck” event. We thought the kids would love the event because they loved trucks. The event had motorcycles, dump trucks, diggers, trash trucks, fire and rescue trucks and police cars as well as many other vehicles. The kids were so incredibly shy that they would barely move from our side. It took them a long time to warm up to the event but once they did, they enjoyed it very much.
The kids continue to do well in school. Their teacher commented to us that the kids have great manners and are so loving to one another. It’s ironic that we rarely see them being nice to one another!
We did a couple of fun hikes in June including a 2 hour roundtrip hike where the kids walked the entire way. They enjoyed looking for mushrooms and for bugs, and picking up pine cones. They fell asleep on the way home and then climbed onto the couch and wouldn’t get up for hours.
Our cat Maggie started really going downhill in June. She was diagnosed with severe irritable bowel syndrome and the doctors couldn’t give us any real answers on what her prognosis might be.
