Names in the sand





Sunset on Thanksgiving





Happy Thanksgiving.



After eating dinner at Mrs. Turner's ( a local diner), the family plus Jim and Kenya Gronskei drove to the West coast.  We stayed out there for about an hour just playing on the beach, in the water and picking up rocks and shells.  The girls had on their rain boots.  Notice the picture below, O is running back to us because she sees the wave coming.  J on the other hand only sees that her boots are slightly covered.  Well...  I will let you decide what happened based upon the pictures below.  I did bring a change of clothes & shoes!!!

My view

I am on the 6th floor of the old Russell Building in Tacoma.  This is the view just as I step out of my officle.  (office/cubicle).  Not bad, huh?  This is Mt Rainier.  It is about 1 1/2 hours from Puyallup (where we live).

Saturday in the park - a new one!









Never duplicated





Piled up in our bed

The girls love to pile up in our bed.  It just so happens that this morning was a very cold one and there just is not room for 4 in a full size bed.  I thought the apartment was small - the bed was even smaller that morning!
