Laura and Elise come to visit Seattle

Laura and Elise came to visit in early September and we had a fabulous time! God gave us lots of sunshine, and Laura was able to appreciate all the Seattle-fabulous things; the things I take for granted. For example, she finds it very difficult to find good smoothies in Roswell, NM (so the first trip we made after she got off the plane was to Emerald City Smoothie). We also enjoyed other NW favs such as Sushi and vegan food. I had prepared a 1920's guest room for Laura and Elise, but had yet to find a playpen for Elise to sleep in (everyone on Craigslist kept on selling them out from under me!). We left poor, unsupecting Paul to watch Elise while Laura and I went to the store to purchase a playpen. Oh, the sorrow! Elise sat on the couch and silently cried crocodile tears because she missed her mommy. Paul said he had never seen anything so incredibly sad in his life!

Elise was making a kissie face, just like Laura

Elise likes spending time with Uncle Paul

Catching a ride on mommy

They were kicking back

So sweet when she wants to be

Her hair has amazing memory....she looks a little like Wolvarine here:)
