More Fun in Washington!

Dinner with the Fox family

We were invited to a nice Sunday dinner with Kelsey's Dad and family, in Bellevue. We had great food and a great time. As you can see Kenya did too. Kenya and Robert played the piano together! Kenya loved it! Don't believe it...look at the second picture!


Booyah! "Look ma, one hand!"Thanks a million, Rick/Dave! We had such a good time!


Here is a pic of the amazing view from the back of the house.
Here are some more cute pics of Kenya eating dinner with her cute cousin Harmon.
(This specific smile gives a nice, old man feel to his mullet!)


Here are some cute pics of Kenya's feet!
What a gorgeous little girl!

These last pics are of Kenya in her Halloween outfit, compliments of her aunt Kira! Thank you Kira!
This is the pumpkin that Kenya uses to stand up with! She has been doing this ever since we got here and she holds herself up with one hand and walks around the table and what not.

Teething

Of coarse, Kenya yesterday got her first tooth to come in. We are visiting family and that tooth made her cranky. It is the bottom right front tooth. It popped through yesterday morning and went back down last night. This morning it has come back up again. She is not a good teether. Really, for a least 2 1/2 months now she has had her top left molar trying to come in too. I thought it was an ear ache for a while and then when I got a good look one of her cuspids keeps breaking the skin and then going back under. Poor girl her mouth hurts so much! I guess she can't be perfect in everything.

What's Seattle like this time of Year?

Well, it's rainy! But that's OK, because it's not freezing cold yet! That's right ladies and gents, lads and lassies, herren and damen, we are in Seattle, well, Renton, to be exact, visiting Aaron, Kelsey and Harmon Evans. Aaron is going to Switzerland and we are keeping Kelsey and Harmon company whilst he is away. We will keep you posted as the fun unfolds.


First, of course, we have some cute cousin pics. Kenya and her cousin Harmon play together.


This one's a kinda blurry, but you get the picture!
Kenya's classic "Deer in Headlights" shot. It never gets old!
Today we visited Aaron at work in downtown Seattle in Columbia Tower(building on right). Here are some pics of the place!

(Ding) Going UP! Next stop, 17th floor. Aaron's office.

(Ding) 17th floor! Aaron's office
We are all with Aaron in his corner office on, that's right, the 17 floor! (Ding) Going WAY UP!

(Ding) 73rd floor! Observation deck!
Here we are with proof that we were on the 73rd floor. We wanted to go to the observation deck, but it cost five bucks a person and Aaron was on a lunch break. So this will have to do.

(Ding) Going DOWN! 40th floor! Starbucks and alternate viewing opportunity!

We were lucky and were able to go inside a conference room and take a gander.(Ding) Going DOWN! Leaving Aaron's work!
Well, that was what we did. As we exited the building Robert got eaten by the revolving door! It was pretty hilarious!

After Aaron's work we went to Fred Meyer; the same Fred Meyer with the deadliest parking ever. (At least that's how Kelsey tells it.) Here Harmon gives his cousin a lift through the store.


What up, Cuz?

No drinking & driving here! They are off to a great start! That was our day in Washington. If anything else cool, funny, or interesting happens, we will do our best to get it on the blog!

Kenya is cute! Fall is here! Halloween is on the way!

Like it says, "Kenya is cute!" We have been going on walks for the last few days and have been enjoying the beautiful foliage and what not. Kenya loves the outdoors! There are many times that if she is crying and we can't get her to stop then we just take her outside and she stops immediately. Go figure.




I took this particular picture to show how big & petite Kenya is getting! She is now 25inches long and she weighs 13lbs 11.5oz! She sits and eats in a high chair with a little help. Note the folded up towel underneath her.




Here are some more pictures to show the changing leaves and just some of the beautiful scenery in the neighborhood.


On the way back from our walk today we saw this cloud in the sky!

The first bunch of pics are of Kenya folding laundry with Lois and loving it!





Kenya's deer in headlights pose!
Here Kenya spends some time with This, Daddy, and Baby Orajel!
These next few pics are of This and our car. We don't know why, but some of the animals around here seem obsessed with our car. When the ducks are out and about they often take naps under our car! If you look closely, This is winking for the camera in the first pic!




Here is another pic of Kenya lovin' on This. She can't get enough of This! Deer in headlights!

Here is a quick clip of Kenya giving Daddy a five!



And minutes ago, she very clearly said, "Hi", to Daddy!
