Anniversary extravaganza in Seattle

The whole family came to Seattle to celebrate my parents' 40th, Ronnie & Elliot's 30th, and Elliot's 70th birthday, and of course to meet the twins. Charlotte loved spending time with the family!

Little Monkey

Charlotte has recently reached new heights in her climbing abilities. She'll pretty much climb anything at this point- trees, jungle gyms, etc. It's a little nerve wracking but exciting to see her feel so confident. 1st pic below is from her gym class where I theorize she obtained some of her skills. 2nd is on the climber near our house where she has been practicing regularly.

Fathers' Day 2014

We had a 4-Dad Father's Day brunch at our house this year with the visit of Seth, Stacie and baby Sophie. It was Seth's and Eric's first Father's Day, Matt's 3rd and Poppie's 38th :)

New House!

Over Memorial Day Weekend 2014 we moved into our new house! Charlotte stayed with Nanni and Poppi overnight while we unpacked and got her new room all set up. Here she is playing at the playground right next door to us. 

Spring 2014

We just sold our house and are getting ready to move 5 miles north to the Wedgwood neighborhood. Here's Charlotte enjoying a sunny afternoon in the sandbox with her monster truck at our neighborhood park. So long, Madison Valley!

Mother's Day 2014

It was the twins' first Mother's Day, so Liz and I staged a photo shoot to capture a grandbaby photo for Nanny's gift. Nathaniel insisted on his paci and Charlotte wouldn't smile for the camera, but Eleanor was very cooperative.

LA Visit May 2014

We paid a visit to LA for a long weekend to spend some time with the family. Charlotte and her cousin Sarah had so much fun together, first at the children's museum, then at the pool, and finally at Abigail's first birthday party. Cousin love!
