Cade & I...

Today was my time to spend with Cade before Morgan & I take off to Arkansas for a week. A few years ago we started spending afternoons at Starbucks, drinking something warm and sketching on note paper. Well, today we started that tradition again with a few changes. We had a lovely time at a local coffee house called Caffe Ladro...I absolutely LOVE locally owned shops, whether they are food or product related, because they have such character. Cade enjoyed himself as well (though that was probably because the cookie he had was the size of his head!).

After our coffee break we were off to the Edmonds Marina Beach. We love this beach no matter what time of the year it is. We diligently searched for beach jewels. This is the 'term' used in our family for glass that washes up on the beach that has been smoothed on the edges by the sand and causes the glass to resemble 'jewels'. We have a beautiful vase that holds all of our jewels that we have collected over the past 5 years. It is going to take another 10 years just to fill it! More trips to the beach are in our future.

I will leave you this evening with two photos. First one, Bob & the boys playing around (aka. Riding Daddy bearbacked).

Second Photo is Morgan 'pondering' the M&M's in the spider candy dish. He promises he only wanted to smell them! Yeah, judge the look on his face for yourself. The sunflowerers are Bob's from this year. They final bloomed (almost 2 months late because of our crazy weather this year!)

Night to you all...
