Exciting afternoon!

Anthony and I ran to the grocery store in the afternoon and on our way home realized that one of our neighbor's houses was on fire! We came in the back way through the neighborhood and discovered there was no way I could drive through to get to our part of the neighborhood. So, we drove around, tried the other entrance and couldn't get in that way either. There were FOUR fire trucks! We found a side street, parked the car, dragged our two bags of groceries into the house and then...went back to see what was going on!

When we got there, the firefighters were just about finished putting the fire out, thank goodness. No one was inside when the fire started, so no one was hurt.

Though it was a sad day for the homeowners, we did get to meet a bunch of really nice firemen and women and chatted with our neighbors. One of the firemen even let Anthony hop into the fire truck and check things out!

Maw Maw's in town!

Anthony's Maw Maw came to visit this week. First thing we did was go on a cruise around Seattle!

A day at the beach

Anthony went to the beach at the lake by our house this afternoon. We had a good time and saw some really cool things. We saw a man that went swimming with his dog! We also saw a ton of ducks and geese, many of whom had just had babies! Anthony didn't want to go home, of course.

Here are the photos!

The Seattle Aquarium

Since I've been off for the week, Anthony and I went to the Seattle Aquarium with our friends, Declan and Laura.

We had a really good time looking at all of the fish, but we were more into the the things the divers wear when going to look at fish than the fish themselves.



Anthony checked out some cool tropical fish, including some that looked just like Nemo and Dory from the movie "Finding Nemo".






The sea otters were really popular. They eat a LOT of food!




On the way home, Anthony and Declan showed us what great friends they are.

First trip to the dentist

Sorry this is a bit old, but I finally got around to removing pictures from this camera.

Anthony went to the dentist about two months ago. It was his first trip and he didn't really care for it. Normally, he loves opening wide to show us his big smile but this time was an exception!

Lazy Saturday

Anthony really wanted his picture taken today.

Sesame Street Live Mega Post

Anthony went to see Elmo and the gang a couple of weekends ago and it was exciting! Unfortunately, it was also pretty loud and he decided he wanted to leave about halfway through. We found out later that he had an ear infection, which explains a few things, but it was still really loud!

While the excitement lasted, though, Anthony was mesmerized! He had a great time and we got some pretty cool pictures!

Lots of pictures!!

These photos were taken with Larry's camera phone when they flew to Kansas City for Uncle Joe's wedding.

Anthony got to sit in the pilot's seat of a Boeing 717!
