A weekend of memory making

Bath time!

Henry and Anabelle got their turn to have baths in the kitchen sink.  Henry was being silly and Sissy was just being her cute self. Look at those eyelashes!

Enjoying the playhouse

Henry wanted to play by himself so Anabelle waited her turn. 

The Old Spaghetti Factory

We tried to go to a few places that are special to Cherise during the weekend.  I picked up pastries from Grand Central Bakery as we've had coffee there multiple times when they've been in town.  I took their "unofficial" engagement portrait there. We went to the zoo where they got engaged and to the beach that is always a special place. The Old Spaghetti Factory is one of those fancy family friendly restaurants so it was a great place to take the kids for lunch on Sunday.

We sat in the Tiffany Room. It had a beautiful view of the grounds and the river.

This picture of Henry was taken while we were waiting for the place to open for the day. The one of Anabelle was after she had finished her lunch.

I liked the bike-rack photo with the inpatients in the foreground. Just trying out more camera functions.

Morning of the move

 Garrett and the girls couldn't get enough time with Anabelle. Since Kiel and Cherise brought some of their baby equipment that is no longer needed we had two exersaucers in the living room. Gar climbed into one and said "Me baby." He had a blast spinning around with Belle-belle. 

Danika was dressed and ready to go to her Kindergarten orientation but played with her little cousin up until the time we had to leave. 

Garrett and Bellie shared a tender moment. He loves her so much!

"Henry Moves to San Diego"

Cherise made a wonderful book for Henry. It tells the story of his move from Walla Walla to California. He can read each page and it has great pictures. It talks about his happy family and their packing, travel and new house. Very very sweet!

In a way I'm glad I didn't see them drive off.  

It's been tough enough thinking of them being gone from the Pacific Northwest. 

I think Henry needs a book that is titled 

"Grampa and Gramma visit San Diego"

There will be a page for a picture of a plane and a picture of us at the Zoo and Seaworld and the beach and...
