Joy School!
Scotland started Joy School this week. He was SO excited to begin, and asked me “how many days…” several times a day for a week. There are four kids in his class: Ava Kirkwood, Noah Hulet, and Cole Watkins. It looks like it is going to be a great group, though I’d love to add one…

Mom, Dad and Derek enter the picture
So the day after Devin left, my parents came into town, and a few days later Derek followed suit. We took Grandma and Dantzi to the zoo. It was a overcast day with a light mist from time to time- which meant there were few people at the zoo, but the animals were very active.…

Devin and Dantzi's visit
This has been the most family-filled August I’ve had- since, well, probably moving away for college. Seriously, all but two of my siblings visited our home last month, and the two that didn’t, I saw at my folks. It’s been wonderful! I’ve already catalogued the first three family events: reunion, Karlsven visit, and Grandma and Poppa…

Five children under three!
After our family reunion, my sister Brigette and her kids came up to Seattle for a visit. It was a wild couple of days as combined we had five kids under three. There was much mischief had, but also lots of fun. We spent one morning at Richmond Beach, looking for creatures, playing in the…

This is what a summer looks like- at the Foutzes
I’m far over due to post. And yet I have little desire to write about what we’ve been up to. I fear it would just be a travelogue, which is generally unexciting to those who weren’t riding along. And yet I want to document the wonderful times we’ve had and the memories we’ve made with family.…

Update on the boys
Scotland: Glissading on Mt. Rainier “This is my best!” (as in, this is my favorite!) He’s very interested in sayings, and is always proud when he uses one, his current favorites are: “Keep your eyes out!” “Keep your eyes peeled.” “I don’t have any hands.” His likes to understand everything I’m saying, and as a result…

Happy Father's Day!
Tom and his “three” boys- teddy included! This picture makes me tear up. There’s just so much love. These boys have one loving, patient, attentive, and playful father. Wish you were home today so we could celebrate, Tom. But alas, we’ll spend the day talking about all the things we love about you, like normal!…

7th Anniversary: Mt. Rainier
Mt. Rainier Tom and I celebrated our seven year anniversary last weekend. It was a totally spontaneous trip. Thursday night we were chatting about what we should do on Tom’s day off on Saturday. As we started looking at our weekends we realized it was our only free weekend before our anniversary. Considering the gorgeous…
