April

The month got off to a start with a visit from Nana for Jonathan’s birthday. We took her out on Everlong and had lunch at Ivars Salmon House.

A little repair to the table/bed. We broke it on our first overnight because we didn’t understand all the components that kept the bed up.

At the end of the month, we took Grammy and Papa out on Everlong with us. It was fun to be on the lake together again.

Port Townsend

For Spring Break, we  took a trip to Bainbridge Island, Port Townsend and Fort Flagler. Here are a few cool arial shots we took with the drone.

The former owners of Everlong (then Bauhaus) spotted us and came to say hi! That’s their new boat, New Bauhaus.

Easter

Here’s a compilation of our Easter photos. We took Layla and Silas to do the egg hunt at Centennial Fields. It was kind of gross this year because the elk got in not long before and pooped all over the field, so the kids had to dodge elk poo while grabbing eggs. Yuck!

Afterward, we went to the downtown Easter event. The kids got candy filled eggs while we window shopped.

That weekend there was also an egg hunt at the pool

Avery Turns 16!

Avery celebrated a milestone birthday this year. He turned 16 and celebrated by getting his driver’s license that morning and driving to school.

At sixteen, Avery is hardworking, driven, a self-starter, and an all around good kid. He loves running, swimming and playing piano. His favorite class at school is cybersecurity and he’s also interested in sports medicine. We’re so proud of you, Avery. Happy 16th!

Jonathan had to use the car after that. He snapped this pic of Avery walking into school with his new bag.
      

We celebrated with a party and invited a few of Avery’s friends.
