Early in the fall Avery and I went out on a couple occasions to do senior portraits. He is such a sweet kid, and so photogenic. We ended up with a lot of pictures! Here are a few of our favorites.
A couple weeks later we went out with his buddy, Dalton. They wanted to get some pics together and we did a few more individuals of each of them.
Reminds me of when they played T-ball together as little guys!
Seventeen years ago…
Here’s what we were up to in October. Our big news is that Avery is headed to our alma mater, Western Washington University, next fall. We couldn’t be prouder!

We started a remodel project on our main floor in October. We’re taking out all the columns and the window wall between the dining and family rooms and relocating the corner fireplace to the exterior wall in the family room. Here’s our progress so far:
Good. helpers!
Silas is fast with a crowbar! 
Kieron, trimming the caulk off the moulding so we can reuse it later.

I’ve been working with a personal trainer since February. Our workout room is getting a lot of use! We just got this barbell rack/pull-up bar. It’s great!

This year for Halloween we tagged behind Layla and her girlfriends. Silas went trick-or-treating with friends on his own. Avery went to a Halloween party. And Kieron wanted to stay home by himself and study Spanish. It’s only a matter of time before Jonathan and I spend our Halloweens at home alone together again.
