Foster Island

We spent a beautiful weekend morning a couple weeks ago going on a "hike" with Sam and Gramps at Foster Island, near the Lake Washington arboretum. Sammy loves the winding trails, the duck sightings, and the "tunnels" of trees. Photos below are courtesy of Gramps - Dick Breckenridge.

We are definitely in final countdown mode now, with the due date for Sam's baby brother or sister just 1 week from today (Nov. 22). Sammy seems excited at times to be a big sister -- talking about how she wants to hold the baby, and teach it the ABCs -- though of course we know it's going to be quite the adjustment (for all of us)! She's also recently discussed the fact that actually she has a baby in her belly...could be a little confusing to sort that one out! Needless to say, we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of this baby, and will be in touch with the big news whenever it finally happens!
