I feel a twinge of sadness as I say goodbye to summer like you do when you say goodbye to a good friend who you loved to have visit but didn’t get anything done while she was here. So now we are back to the schedule of school which means that I get to go back to walking in the morning! Yeah! Lora and I go on a walk most mornings that, up until a few days ago, was laced with beautiful juicy blackberries. Hmm, blackberry pie!
We also celebrated G’s birthday and I had to share this one with you because I thought it was a great idea and it was a big success! Ben came up with this one, actually. He suggested that we have all the girls over for breakfast on the morning of G’s birthday. We gave prizes for the best bedhead. Which is perfect for G because G regularly has THE most impressive bedhead you’ve ever seen. Hands down, bar none. I’ve started a photo collection dedicated to the record of her bedhead. Here’s a recent one.
The girls really got into it and had a big time. 
They also decimated 3 pounds of bacon!
And last but not least! We are now the proud owners of a new puppy! We are over the moon with him. His name is Blue.
Can you get over the cuteness!
Happy Fall!
I have a feeling Blue may soon become the most photographed dog in the greater Seattle area… Great party idea!
I love how the party idea is an extension of who G is! So fun (and I will be stealing it someday…).
