Jonathan & Lindsey's Family Blog

Here’s what we were up to in November:   
Jonathan and I got dressed up and went to the Wine Gala at The Club, always a fun excuse for a night out.

Visit from Grammy

Nana and Auntie Ashleigh came for a visit and to celebrate Nana’s 70th birthday. We went out to dinner at The Club. Happy Birthday, Nana!

While we were at dinner we got a text from a friend that their neighbor, Gabe, a firefighter, had a few dozen kids Covid vaccines ready to dole out, did we want to come get some? Naturally, we rushed there! The mood was so happy and grateful – one more step toward normal life!

Chatting up Auntie Ashleigh

We watched our neighbor’s Frenchie, Lucy, for a couple days. The pooches had fun wearing each other out.

I went to Grammy and Papa’s for a couple days to hang out and decorate for Christmas

Decorating at home

We went to Grammy and Papa’s for Thanksgiving this year. It was nice to spend the holiday with family again. We couldn’t get over how much all the cousins have grown!

Avery had a great first season on the Mount Si XC team. He was so excited to end up running Varsity as a Freshman. We were impressed with what a good group of hardworking kids are on the team and how much they pushed each other to do their very best.

This is their home course. It’s a beautiful spot to run! That’s Coach Crane in front yelling at them, “the race is up there!”

Here are pictures from this Halloween. We had a captain, a Ghostbuster, the Grim Reaper, Elsa and Baby Yoda this year. Jonathan and I were Westley and Princess Buttercup.

Snoqualmie Ridge puts on a big Halloween event each year, with about a dozen movie scenes spread throughout the neighborhood, including Marvel, Disney Princesses, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Star Wars.

Kieron ran cross country at Chief Kanim. He didn’t love it, but he gave it his best effort.
