* first day to not have coconut chutney or curry for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.... (I sure miss the incredible Indian cuisine and the amazing cooking from the Thota family!) 

* first day to go running again after 10 days off in India... 

* first time for Anna and Taylor to ride their bikes around Green Lake 

* first glimpses of the beautiful fall colors on trees here in Seattle (as the most common trees in Rajamundry, India were coconut and palm trees!!) 

speedy bikers leaving me in the dust. :) 

biking buddies 

Since I was gone in India on October 7th, we celebrated with a little bike ride around Green Lake with Liam today! (Liam is our godson so we are carrying on the tradition of celebrating one day each month with him like we do for Anna and Taylor. His birthday is May 7th so on every 7th, it's fun to find a simple way to mark the day and give thanks together....) 

small beauty 

What a great big sister (to her sweet godbrother, Micah)
