Christmas time in Leavenworth

 We spent a lovely weekend in Leavenworth with our dear friends Julie, Todd and their kids Kate and Miles. The kids had a great time, and Leavenworth was truly an idyllic place to be right before Christmas. Everything was covered in snow, the house was cozy and we were welcomed with love, and the little village was just like a little Bavarian town with lights and icicles and bustling people. Sledding, playing, pretzels and beer for lunch, games and tons of great time with friends.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Fall 2012

We spent Thanksgiving in Spokane with the whole Grompe clan, the Wyoming Peterschmidts and of course the Twinsville bunch. We had a great time and here is the link to dad's pbase gallery:

Below is a round up of recent phone shots. Apparently the ease of the iphone camera has kept me away from the real deal. I need to make sure to take some "real" ones this Christmas season! Included here are pics from preschool, the beach, Halloween, auntie Caroline's all saints day themed housewarming, and every day life. Enjoy!

September photo share

A few photos of Josie. She is so fun and full of imagination. 3 is a really great age!
She will eat almost anything. In the pic here she is sizing up a craw dad. She polished off at least 20 or 30 in the course of he meal (that one was by at the biggest though!). She has started routinely asking for frozen peas in her morning yogurt. A few weeks ago we went to a French restaurant with Barb, and she wanted to try the snails. We ordered a plate and she tucked right in to those, too!
She is playing with dolls a lot, real and imaginary. In the photo she has all her doll house dolls practicing downward dog with her. Pinocchio has also been a frequent friend in our house.

Also, I added a couple new links on the right hand side bar, with Gemma's story and pictures. I started a page with pictures of her name as an ongoing a way to honor and remember her.
