Summer 2011

We've had a few weeks of great weather and have been taking advantage of it as much as we can. Chad's Mom (Grandma Barb) was up for a visit to attend Chad's cousin Ian's wedding, so Finley and her Grandma had plenty of opportunity to spend time together. Grandma Barb's visit was a huge hit and Finley still keeps going into the spare bedroom to see if Grandma is ready to wake up and play with her.

Grandma also got got a big surprise when we took her to breakfast in Seattle, and there waiting at the table for her were Chad's sister Jennifer, Jennifer's boyfriend Duane, and 2 of her three grandsons. They had all driven up from Vancouver to help surprise Grandma. Here are some photos from the trip and other events this summer.
