We had kind of a neat surprise when we went kayaking this morning. There was a huge flock of birds diving and swooping all over the lake. I looked in my "Birds of Seattle" book :) but I'm not sure exactly what type of bird it was. They were actually quite pretty, with blue heads and white chests. The closest match seemed to be a Tree Swallow. The birds weren't terribly concerned about us being there, so once or twice I thought we might get hit.

I was going through some old movie files and found this one; I'm not sure why I didn't post it initially. It made me smile to watch it again . . .

I'm not sure that I see it, but everytime I comb Avery's hair this way she says she looks like "Uncle Dan." shrug. Maybe it's because we talk about him so often lately. And, by the way, it's snowing again :)

New bed! Avery sitting on her new "big sister" bed. She was so excited about it, that she suggested on her own that it was time for her to take a nap. I like this new phase :)

Rock throwing contest.

Let's go fly a kite . . .So, in total contrast to my last post, this Saturday was gorgeous, clear and 75 degrees. We bought a kite, put on some sunscreen and headed to the coast for some Ivars fish and chips and lounging in the sun.
