"Run so as to get the prize..."

Now that Maggie has her running legs, Mishayla challenged her to a big race. The "M & M" girls sure do like hanging out together!

Camping at Lake Easton

Last week we spent a few days at Lake Easton, just east of Snoqualmie Pass. Our mornings began with pancakes, sausage, eggs and coffee all made over the fire (makes you hungry just hearing about it, huh?). While breakfast was cooking, Maggie would read books with Grandma Melquist by the fire. We visited the Historical Railyard in Cle Elum and even paddled our raft across Lake Easton. Everytime we go camping we wish for more.

A Trip to the Zoo!

The girls headed out to Point Defiance Zoo with Grandma Merry and Grandma Melquist. Maggie really liked the big colorful birds and the bears ("roar" she says). Here she is with Grandma Merry.

More Progress on the House!

We've been neglectful in posting updates on our house. The last few weeks have been extremely productive! Bert the Plumber did a great job, Matt with Heritage took care of the HVAC, and our friends Ed and John did an awesome job with the electrical! Next week insulation should be complete and drywall begins! This project has certainly been time-consuming, but we've also enjoyed the progress. God has been very good to us.
