appreciating fall bc big hearty meals w these lovers.

no tree is safe with us around

just a couple of pensive lumberjacks

loot

kale def gets the award for most enthusiastic jumper

hilloween costume prep.

someone's been watching stranger things and now sometimes he wants to sleep in our bed.

trying out his halloween costume a few days early bc who doesn't wanna be a lumberjack.

post-orthodontist lunch date selfie.

who sits like this

just a lot of facial expressions around here.

errybody relaxing on the ferry

waiting for the bus, checking out some youtube videos.

these shots were taken seconds apart and i'm pretty sure that there exists no more perfect pictorial representation of the truth of our children.

does anyone else remember when he fit in one of these w room to spare?

tbh we spend a lot of time laying around on the living room floor and i just felt like the blog should reflect real life

i just love these ppl. sue me

we went apple picking and found these magic pink fleshed beauties

and can just pop by for a casual dinner literally ANYTIME

what about how john and petry live here now?!?

mountain o' fries

the family that plays together stays together

gotta find those compositions for trombone and piano now.

riley's back on the piano-lesson train and we just couldn't be happier

can you even really call it a visit if we don't drag you to the farmers' market?

just a bunch of cousins hanging out.

daily stop-and-wave-on-the-way-to-the-bus ritual

spicy chef

finally got a bike that's big enough. pretty thrilled tbh

who doesn't enjoy a little deep-cleaning w headlamp is the real question.

kale has no problem 'bending the knee' - take note daenerys.

discussing the number of jump-scares in 'it' (apparently there were this many)

birthday party season is upon us

hijinks on the ferry home. also summer ended while we were away, which is a lowkey bummer but the plants are all grateful for the rain so i can't complain too much.

also there was karaoke so really i'm not sure if the weekend could have gotten any better.

special magic vacation bonus - blackberry season wasn't over on whidbey!

always collecting sticks, this one.

this hike was every bit as magical as it looks.

farmers markets forever

bike riding bbs

al fresco lunch bc we are about that cottage lifestyle.

low tide was amazing and petry is v strong is all i have to say about this.

literally the exact same spot as the previous shot but at low tide!?! we found so many sand-dollars #rich

once again with the driftwood and the vistas.

the puget sound is actually cold af but these ppl are tough stuff.

ferry ride to whidbey island, but srsly this picture makes me laugh til i can't breathe.

less than two weeks til these lovers move to seattle, and just slightly longer til kale is actually this tall.

hi there soulful preteen chess player

nat and erin's bbshower was filled w actual bbs and it was CUTENESS OVERLOAD
