The Sea & The Third Birthday

Dad's conference in Seattle was an opportunity to visit our beloved San Juan Island in November. (Mount Baker is behind the gull.) As always, it was wonderful to see old friends and that many things haven't changed.

This is back at the Oregon coast, in January. The next wave will flood the boots...

Suddenly, Charlie decided that he does not like to have his picture taken :-) (And yes, mom had her hair cut off, after 25 years...)

The emperor turned three last week! Not a toddler any longer (officially at least... we're still waiting for the emotional maturity :)
