Matthews beach, wedding celebration

getting ready for my new duty of preparing school lunches, this was a good one.  Costco teriyaki meatballs with Annie's white cheese shells.

We enjoyed spending a few hours on this Lake Washington beach with friends.





yes!  i swam out to the raft.  the other adults chatted.  i was excited about it :)  water wasn't too cold.

E's primary teachers celebrated their wedding. It was so fun.  e enjoyed watching the flower girls toss petals, the bouquet toss and cutting the cake.



Moving on


One of the last times to walk through this parking garage on our way to Pre-K.  E and 13 of his peers had a fun "moving on" ceremony.  We loved that Aunt A was here to attend with us.
