Ryan and Wendy's new one!

Molly Piper arrived on July 16th sometime around 10:00am:) 7lbs 12.5oz and 19 inches long. She's very vocal and has gobs of jet black hair. The movie is about an hour after birth. And yes- I think both parents are Ga-Ga over her.

New Puppy! Wedding! Road Trip!

JJB's new dog - Mugsy. Adorable puppy and totally taken new owners.


Nathan - Jasmine - Seth all color coordinated and in perfect quandry as to where the corsage goes.


The Michigan representatives

ROAD TRIP: Fun on the road as we drove from Seattle to Green Bay in order to get to the above wedding on time- which we did -with hours to spare...so we went to the Mall of America:)

Craig and I on the field where incredible athletes battled the best of the best to win a spot as an U.S.A Olympic team member and yes- it's was as cool as it sounds:)

And they are off....


They round the corner coming towards us in the beginning of the 800 meter race.

Seattle Day

The start of the day at the Space needle - I have to admit it was pretty cool to see the views of the city and check out some of the interactive computer stuff (technical term) they had:)




Here we are in sculpture park..the discussion was revolving around whether or not the big black thing could really be called "art"



The group starting the long stair climb up to Pike's Place- Everyone was up to the task:)





In front of the original starbucks at Pike's Place--somehow I missed getting a picture of the flowers and grassy hill, but I enjoyed touring the place with these three.
