I love this picture. You can actually see the Narrows bridge and the bay we live near (just up from the bridge). It's provoking to see how we are so surrounded by water.
Sean's brother and sister-in-law, Aaron and Melissa, came and visited over a weekend. Melissa is a great photographer and took lots of pictures of us. We realized that it was my camera that was making Tenley look un-photogenic. Poor kid, she was cute after all.
We took the ferrie to Seattle, explored Kopachucks beach on a very cold day, and tried to make our guests stay bearable. We fed them leftovers, let them share a very warm blanket, and even gave them permission to flush the toilet two times a day (non-family are only allowed once a day). I think they found it was quite a wonderful vacation, despite Tobin becoming suddenly territorial. He screamed like a banchee if his cousins touched any of our toys, or forks, or chairs, or doorknobs. I had no idea my children were so tight, but apparantly they refuse to allow outsiders into their domain. While it destroyed all future relationships with their cousins, I was quite pleased they found something to bond over. We would love to have family visit more often and as you can see, you'll really have good time.
