Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's day to you and yours! Mesh and I both happened to have the day off so I went with Riley to school today, Mesh took Ben to his co-op preschool class, and I joined Nate at school for his class party. Then we all went to the pool for swim lessons and had a nice evening at home. A perfect day with our loves!

February Fun

Trying out the recently opened Wiggle Works with some friends.

Thank you to Badamma for having her friend bring this beautiful outfit  back from India.

Getting ready for Fat Tuesday. :)

Nate and his ski instructor.

Movie night!

Ben's first swim lesson! All three are in swim classes at the same time twice a week - this is a scheduling miracle.

Friendship Festival

Tonight was the Friendship Festival at Riley's school and our fourth year in a row attending (2 years of Nate performing before Ri).  It was cute as always, and we followed it up like we always do, dinner at Red Robin.

January Catch Up

  This month we mostly stayed close to home, here are some of our moments:

Night walks around the neighborhood:

Basketball fever:

 Benny being Benny:

And a few other moments:

You have to click to enlarge this and read it.  Too funny! At least Nate is giving to charity! Time for us to up our retirement account contributions. ;)

Riley's first time on the chairlift!

In the last few years, January has become a time of slowing down, focusing on family, and being thankful. The other night I was tucking Ben in and as we were saying our prayers, he stopped and waved to the ceiling.  I asked him what he was doing and he said, "I'm waving to those guys" and giggled. I said "What guys Ben?" and he answered "Jesus, God, and Badappa up in heaven". That's our sweet Benjamin Subramaniam, who shares his grandfather's middle name.  We love you Badappa and we remember you always, and especially today on your birthday. 

Tubing!

We cheered on our Seahawks (exciting game, bummer ending) and then drove to the mountain to go tubing.  I love that we can get to snow in just 40 minutes. Ben only went down with me a couple times, giggling the whole way, but then decided it was too scary so we made snow angels and threw snowballs instead. :)

Seahawks donuts at church.

Sleepy on the way to the mountain.

Happy New Year!

We met some friends for jumping during the day on New Year's Eve and then headed down to Gig Harbor to spend the night celebrating with the Ludlows, a fun tradition.  Happy New Year everyone!

Ri and Olivia...boys somewhere in the background bouncing!
