I waited too long...

...and now there are too many things to post.

We went to a lovely local pub up by Greenlake where the outside seating area was really nice and everyone seemed to know Elliott.  Amazingly, they don't allow minors, so we kept her outside the retaining wall, taking turns enjoying the cask-aged Sierra Nevada seasonal.  

She stayed cozy.

Here's Fiona and Grammy playing "train":

Here's some Thanksgiving with lots of wonderful people:

What a table!

The walk afterwards:

Here's a celebration after the Seattle half marathon.  It was my first and I was happy and proud.

Molly, Shana, KP, me, Katy, Jess, all dressed as ballpark franks.

Here's a baby with a laundry pile...

...and a shopping bag.

Naima!  She gave us some clothes she grew out of AND she didn't ever really fall on Fiona.  Amazing, since she'd only been walking for about 4 days.  

Sink tubby.  It's so dear that I can't help taking pictures every time now. 

A pensive stroll up to 15th on Sunday after the race.  Fiona is crazy for trees.  They seem to both calm and excite her.  Like when you get focused to write a really good paper.  Remember that?

We transitioned towards Christmas pretty rapidly this year.  We also FINALLY, on the 4th try, managed to order and receive a front-facing carrier.  This girl's gotta see the world! How many facial features can you find between Mama Kless' hat and the Beco Gemini?  Jen got a tree for her team room and we got one for the house.  Yay, gay boys of 17th!

Increasingly snuggly.  See?

See?

Nothing better:
