Visiting the New Addition Lauren Frances

Here is a picture of the proud new dad, Ryan, Lauren, Aaron and Alex.

On Sunday we went down and visited our new niece Lauren Frances Dutton. She was born on the 7th of October right before our trip, so we didn't get a chance to see her before we went to Hawaii. While we were visiting we went to a pumpkin patch off of Hwy 9. We had a great time and Lauren basically just slept in the front carrier the whole time.

Preschool Pumpkin Patch Field Trip!

Wendy, Logan and I were lucky enough to be able to accompany Emily on her preschools field trip to the pumpkin patch. The weather this fall has been awesome and I was surprised not to be cold especially since I had just come back from Hawaii two days before. Emily didn't even wear her coat

10 years!!! Hawaii celebration!!!

This October Aaron and I went to Honolulu, Hawaii to celebrate a belated 10 year anniversary. This is a picture of us taken on our catamaran cruise. The cruise was 2 1/2 hours and we were able to watch some spinner dolphins and go snorkeling. After snorkeling we had lunch. Then started heading back. The weather was great in Hawaii and it was fun to spend sometime together as a couple.

Here is the view of Waikiki beach from our hotel room balcony. While we were in Hawaii the kids got to stay with both sets of Grandparents!! Wednesday night through Saturday night with my parents and Sunday through Tuesday with Aaron's parents. Thank you for watching them!! This was the longest amount of time that I had been away from them and I pretty much missed them the whole time.

We went to the Space Needle!

This Tuesday Alex, Emily and I were down in Seattle for a follow-up appointment at Children's. After the appointment I decided to take them to the Space Needle. All that I had was my cell phone, but I still got some good pictures.
