Year in Review May - July, 2008

July

July, 2008 was a super busy month!

Rachel went to girl scout camp - overnight for a week! We missed her, but she had a blast.

Alex went to Cougar Quest camp the same week that Rachel was gone.

We were surrounded by wild animals...

The kids with Tiny.












































A mother and baby in our yard!

Rachel donated her hair - we were really proud.

Before

After!

Our friends from California came to spend a week with us. We went horseback riding, hiking and kayaking - even though the weather was bad and rainy!

Sadly waving goodbye...

No sooner did our friends leave then we started packing for our amazing August trip to Peru!

June


The highlight of June was a visit from Cousin Peter. He and the kids had fun playing Rock Band.

Rachel and Dad went to the Daddy-Daughter dance, and had a good time.

The kids had their very last Meydenbauer Piano recital in June. Alex started with a new teacher at Chopin Academy in September and Rachel also found a new teacher - Alex!

Rachel played "Jazzy Moves" and "The Pink Panther".

Alex played "Maple Leaf Rag" by Scott Joplin and "Rondo Alla Turca" by Mozart.

May

The highlight of May was Grandma coming to see us. Alex and I took her to see David Lanz in the Seattle Ten Grands concert.

She had fun practicing archery in our backyard.

Good thing she didn't try to shoot this guy at Northwest Trek, though!

May ended with an SVGC concert. It was very nice.
