Three!
Number five is three! They say the days are long but the years are short. I get that, in the world of having kids. I look at Blaise and wonder how it’s been 13 years since I was pregnant with
Grayland Beach State Park
This is overdue. It’s the new year and this was back in mid-October. It’s fun looking back at the pictures because I’d rather be at the beach right now than back to real life after the long holiday break. I

Snoqualmie Tunnel
Apparently August had a train theme. First there was Iron Goat Trail. Then rail riders in Shelton. And then this sucker, the Snoqualmie Tunnel. Trains galore. Maybe we should watch Unstoppable again. Whenever the kids played with train tracks and
