euphoria on an island

i am wonderfully filled up after the recent weekend.  i am busting at the seams, quite honestly.

the Emerson family joined us on Bainbridge Island this weekend for the Memorial holiday - we spent the mornings, afternoons and evenings living on the deck overlooking the downtown Seattle skyline... sipping wonderful drinks and watching the kids run up and down the hillside -- whether rain or shine, the kids lived outside.

we woke to fresh brewed coffee and wonderful breakfasts which lead to easy lunches and playing at the beach which rolled into quiet time and naps whilst the adults began contemplating the wonderful drinks that would best compliment the sunshine outside and conversations at hand... it was absolutely wonderful.

no one was left wanting for anything - other than another couple of days together.


Reese loved standing in the rain...
Kate and Riles in the rain...
Kate and Regs in the rain...

Relaxing together under the couch pillows...

Playing with the crabs they caught at Waterfront Park...

Reese and Benjamin eating breakfast this morning on the deck...

... eating breakfast.

Katie had the idea... Kyle cut the fabric and Jess spent hours sewing bears for Katie and Regan.  Such fun!!

Reese, Regan, Katie ... Benjamin, Riley and William... the 'troop'!

... we'll do this again.
