Out west

We went over to West Seattle to check out an open house, and we took in a walk by Alki Beach. This water and these views of mountains and downtown (not well captured by the camera) are part of the dream for our family. 

We also sampled some Top Pot doughnuts. Here's Leo trying to match the doughnuts to the ones on their postcard. 

Leo's first go on a games console, in the Amazon store. 

Zen snoozer. 

Double trouble

Spa morning for Mummy, Grandma and Danielle, leaving Leo and Isobel at home with Daddy. Three hours of fun..

..toy catalogues..

..playdoh..

..and, finally, TV (sighs)

Then off to the hairdressers to get the hair out of his eyes (this is pre-cut; photos of the new cut to come tomorrow). 

A funny grin

Snowday

Rich, Danielle and Isobel showed us up to the deep snow an hour out of Seattle. 

Leo loved it and could have stayed in the snow longer than anyone else. 

Coming down the slope with Mummy. 

Getting ready to launch Leo on his own.

General horsing around with Daddy

More birthday celebrations

Over to West Seattle to help Isobel celebrate her 2nd birthday. 

And he certainly enjoyed the party

As well as hanging out with uncle Richard

Balloons!

Resolution fun

Leo and Isobel started the day supporting their parents and sister in the Resolution Run and polar bear dip.

In the afternoon, Leo and Isobel went to softplay

And then back to Grandma and Grandad's for some Lego,

dinner,

and creative playing

More sun and play

While the cats are away (on an overnight date)..
