Was good to see the mountains this weekend!

We found snow! Lots of it!! ❄️ ❄️ ❄️

bee 🐝

Many great spellers at the full school spelling bee today! Abby and Nate both did great and went many rounds into the bee. Abby successfully spelled: deep, dew, dither, and engraved. The word "annoyance" was her downfall. Nate successfully spelled: eat, aid, vanish, shilling, and atoll. He got out on "anecdote".

Abby did an awesome job on Valentines for her classmates!

Weekending with one of my favorite families! Asher and I had our own date night while Kelley & Alan had theirs. And then sleepover + ferry ride + Vashon Island brunch!
