Fall Festival, Spider-Man, and Family

Between Isaac's fall festival program at preschool, visits with family, and enjoying some fall sunshine, we had a great week. Oh, and Isaac got Spider-Man PJs that he (literally) hasn't taken off since opening up the package....

Portraits of the Bug

A couple very nice shots of our Isaac bug. Taken by our photog friend Ryan Carlson at last weekend's Halloween party. I thought he did a nice job capturing his spirit.

Halloween Spirit

Fall is officially here, and we're all getting in the Halloween spirit.

Yup, all of us.

A housewarming party was overdue, so we had a spooky housewarming party this weekend. I had almost as much fun decorating as I did seeing so many good friends.

Those who follow my Halloween board on Pinterest had a sneak peek of our decor. Here is the tablescape pre-guests.

I was too busy socializing at the party that I forgot to take photos. Hopefully I can snag some from friends this week.

Today, Isaac and I continued the Halloween spirit by painting pumpkins. I really like Isaac's abstract "rainbow" pumpkin.

Fall Days & The Great Outdoors

We were spoiled in Park City with so much nature in the near vicinity. But, we're reminded every day that Seattle is quite amazing as well. Here are a few photos of us out and about in the neighborhood, and right in our own back yard (literally).

Fall is Here!

Back in the PNW (and Snapshots of the Journey)

We're baaaaack.

Back in the Pacific Northwest!

After two great years in Park City, Utah we were pulled back to Seattle with a fantastic job offer for Eric, and lots of family and friends saying "yes, come back". Of course, the decision was more difficult and complicated than that... but not by much. The hard part, of course, was saying goodbye all the fantastic people and the unparalleled lifestyle perks of living in Park City. But the decision to move back to Seattle felt right. And now, after a month of planning for the move, physically moving, Eric starting a new job, and getting Isaac settled into a new routine and new preschool, we're feeling at home again back in Seattle. We moved back in to the same house, and I am working the same Park City job remotely. There's so much to write about, and yet I'll let the photos do the talking.

Snapshots of the last few weeks in Park City, packing, and saying goodbyes ("see ya laters"). One of the hardest goodbyes was to Isaac's beloved preschool teacher, Ms. Terri.

Snapshots of the last few weekends in Park City. Enjoying the weekend festivals and Park Silly markets.

Snapshots of arriving in the PNW. Isaac and I stayed with my parents for a few days while Eric arrived with the moving truck.

Snapshots of life back in Seattle which includes seeing lots of good friends.

And of course... Snapshots of the Sounders! Isaac was so excited to go again, and was a trooper in the (literally) 90 minutes of pouring down rain.

Overall, the move went smooth. Just a few hiccups and character-building days that are part of every move. Isaac seems to be thriving at his new preschool (after about a week of, well, let's just say "adjusting").
