The Evergreen State

A few weeks ago we went to visit Jason's family in Washington, where we had a wonderful vacation. Clara loved picking blueberries, strawberries and eventually raspberries from the garden. She even saw a rabbit in Grandma's garden! She loved telling us about that for days.





Thoroughly enjoying Woodland Park Zoo.

Reading with Papa, a.k.a. Patches the Clown. Ever since she found out that Papa used to be a clown, she thinks that every clown is Papa.

Grandma bought a vast quantity of bubbles and sidewalk chalk, which Lily and Clara had lots of fun with. Clara especially likes us to lay down and draw chalk outlines around our bodies. Hmm... (At the bottom of the post is a video of Clara and her bubbles)




Somehow these daisies made it into several pictures. Doesn't Jason look so sweet?

The Missionary!

Allison left for her mission last week, to the Indonesia Jakarta Mission. She was super excited and I'm happy to have a missionary to write!
