Family Lore

10 years ago today.... 

July 29, 2012:  "OH NO!!!! Yesterday, Taylor spotted a half dollar that I had put under Anna's pillow when she lost her tooth the other day. I heard him say, "Mom, the tooth fairy STOLE my half dollar and gave it to Anna!!!" I was laughing hysterically in the kitchen because I knew I had been busted on this one. (I had seen this on the kitchen counter the other night when writing my tooth fairy note and did not realize it was Taylor's. Oops!) Taylor came in the kitchen and said, "MOM, YOU'RE THE TOOTH FAIRY! ADMIT IT!!!" I could not stop laughing and had to fess up...."

Night out on the Town

 

We started our evening last night at Canlis for a drink at their bar (no reservations needed) and had such fun kicking off our anniversary evening at this iconic restaurant here in town. 


and then we headed to Lark to meet up with Hannah who treated us to an amazing dinner as a thank you for hosting her this last year.... Such a wonderful evening together!

Welcome Back!

Liam and Bill made it home from their bike ride from Canada to Los Angeles, and it was such fun to welcome them back. This was a bike ride picking up from their efforts last summer of biking across the country, but last summer was cut short due to an injury that Liam had along the way. This summer, the day before they were going to go to the same spot where they left off last year, Liam got Covid, so they had to wait a week for him to recover and then they rerouted and decided to bike on the west coast to California. With all the adjustments they made, this Plan C turned out to be quite an amazing experience and one they will never forget. Way to go, Bill & Liam (and Elizabeth for holding down the fort so they could go on this adventure!)!!

Today was the 10th Annual Kayak to Kirkland with our friends Evan and Arie! What a beautiful day and time to catch up with them (and to mark Christmas in July- because why not?!)...

Anna and Arie's 10th crossing to Kirkland together! 


We met up with Evan's sister Libby and her husband for our ice cream tradition this afternoon
