The Weekend in Photos
Tags:
Simon reading a Maisy book to Anna.

Anna really enjoying it (and her big brother).

Chris fishing for spring Chinook salmon on the Columbia River.

A place on the floor of our bedroom for a family-slumber-party.

A nap & a stretch or two (or more).
Other weekend memories to remember:
• Picking up some new peony plants at our favorite local nursery that just opened for the season.
• Going on a walk to the park with Anna in the stroller, Simon on his bike, and Lily on the leash.
• Shopping for lettuce and flowers at the Farmer's Market.
• Eating fresh salmon caught in the morning for dinner on Saturday.
• Breakfast early Sunday morning at our local hangout.
• Simon riding his bike with the neighbor kids and looking so, so tall.
• Making him change his clothes to a short sleeve t-shirt and shorts
because the weather was phenomenal.
• Digging in the backyard and dreaming about the changes I want to make out there (more projects).
