Busy Year

Wow, so much has happened since March, it's hard to know where to start. First of all, in May Mom and Dad got married. It's a pretty big deal, I guess, but they're still Momma and Da...DA to me. The house was painted and the skies cleared for one of the few times before June. The wedding was in the living room. Momma looked beautiful! People were crammed into the living room. I fell asleep in Gigi's lap for the boring parts.

Then we (Momma, DaDA and I) went to Hawaii for something called a honeymoon. I guess I'm pretty lucky 'cause not every kid gets to go on one. We rented a little house away from all the tourist spots, but there was 17 mile long beach 2 blocks away. I loved the outdoor shower. Check out the pix! (use the link at the right).

Then DaDA turned around and went right back to Hawaii so he could help sail my friend PJ's boat Capaz from Hawaii to Seattle. He was gone 17 days total. I can't believe he didn't take me with him. I would have had a great time.

THEN in July we went on a camping trip up near Mount Baker with all my friends in the PEPS group. We hiked up past the snowline and crossed a couple really hard streams.

But this Fall has been the absolute best. I'm going to school! Well, pre-school anyway. And the coolest thing is that either Momma or DaDA come with me. It's only 2 hours a week but it's lots of fun.

I am so lucky with nannies. Lindsey was getting too busy with her "real work" (what, I'm not enough work for her????). Now I have two nannies, Rebeca and Anna. I share Rebecca with my new friend Hans, who's a lot (one year) older than me. We're together every weekday except for when I'm at school. Anna's in school and helps out sometimes. I love them all!

In October Momma, DaDA and I went on a big European trip. (yep, go see the photos). First we went to England where we rented a narrowboat, and spent 4 days on a canal. Then we went to Germany so I could meet my half uncle Bernd and Katrin, and my cousin Felix. We played a lot. Then we all went to Amsterdam and rented bikes for a ride around the city. I fell asleep in the child seat, but I guess that's what nearly always happens.

That was a lot of excitement for one year, and the year's not over!
