A few more of Kendall's first Christmas

Merry Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas from the Seattle Dents (Nat, G and Kendall)! Snow fell again this morning but didn't accumulate much. We still have about 6 inches left on the ground from the last storm. The Tanners (Craig and Jollyne) were here for Christmas Eve dinner and again for breakfast and presents on Christmas Day. Jollyne once again outdid herself on all the food and wine! Kendall seems to like Christmas so far because it has provided her with twice as many things to put into her mouth. She loved her new cozy fleece snow suit. Do they make those for adults?

Serious Face

Had to share a couple recent pics of Kendall. She is very serious when it comes to her food. We tried our first Rice Cereal experiment last night and paid dearly for it - she seemed to have a tummy ache most of the night. We may stick to milk a little while longer!

Chateau Ste Michelle

A couple of very hot days in Seattle. We chose to spend the days lounging around in the Crocodile Pool and picnicing at Chateau Ste Michelle winery.

Nala and Kendall

We had Craig, Jollyne and Nala over for dinner and couldn't resist this photo opp! Kendall took Dad to the Mariner's game to celebrate his first Father's Day. Thanks Kendall! Unfortunately and not surprisingly, the lowly M's lost...

BEAT THE BRIDGE 2008

Well, it was a bit different this year with a newborn but we managed to complete the 4 mile family walk without incident. Usually we make the 5 mile run but because they don't allow strollers with the runners we had to join all the other new parents for the walk. We didn't want to interupt our streak of 7 years of participation so we made this small concession. Weather was perfect for the first time since our first year. Kendall mentioned to us after the walk that she planned to do the run next year. She should probably get training soon...

Heat Wave in Seattle

We spend 7 months out of the year wishing for hot, dry weather in Seattle and then we find ourselves complaining that it's too damn hot...

Fun Saturday spent down at the Market and then running for some shade. We were afraid Kendall was broiling in her car seat.
