thanksgiving.

I probably should post this before it's christmas...
so happy thanksgiving, everyone!
we had a great week. grandma and grandpa came to visit so parker and madalyn were busy being spoiled...well we all were :)

we started by heading up to guemes island! it was a sunny and windy weekend! it was great to get away from the seattle area for a bit and enjoy life. we ate great food, relaxed and played!

on monday, we celebrated this guy! happy 30!

brandon and i had a date night!

 we did a lot of fun things...the aquarium, university village, indoor parks, church, celebrated thanksgiving and christmas :)
 thanksgiving with the koster's
 sink baths are the best!

 cheese!
 smile, grandma
 the dangers of "selfies"
 focused determination to open the gift herself

six months!

oh my! oh my! madalyn, you are now 6 months old! it seems like just a few weeks ago we brought you home from the hospital! you have settled quite well into our little family. you adore your daddy and big brother. although you prefer to snuggle with mama. you started to sit up all by yourself! you can roll wherever you want to be. you had your first solid foods! oatmeal, avocados, applesauce, bananas and prunes :) yum! you eat very enthusiastically. you love to smile and when you do it seems like your cheeks might explode! we love you sooo much! and cannot wait to see what this next month brings!











big girl!
