Dancing Queen

Caitlin was initially friends with my sister Megan, but after spending plenty of time with the rest of us, befriended the whole family.  She got married last weekend!  Lovely wedding, beautiful reception, gorgeous bride!  Congratulations Caitlin and Kevin!

Charlotte had a great time too.  Especially on the dance floor!

P.S. This was my 4th wedding of the year!

Love!

Waving to the boats!

Independence Day

Kurt, my wonderful husband, came with me to Anacortes on Monday (as he had the day off) to help with all my twin duties.  On the way I called Lili to double check she didn't have work that morning- she didn't.  Anyways, while talking to the Lilster she informed me she was going to be in the Anacortes 4th of July parade!  And that we needed to watch it and wave at her.  This was pretty easy as the parade goes right in front of Lili's apartment.  Kurt and I watched from the two windows...and watched...and watched...and watched.  After 1 hour we still hadn't seen Lili and the parade was still coming.  I told Kurt to keep watching and tell me when Lili came by- I needed to do something productive.  About 10 minutes later Kurt spotted her, "I see her!" I stood up. "And she's in a tank!!!"  "What?"  I ran to the window.  Sure enough, there was Lili riding down the street in a military tank smiling from ear to ear.  She was so excited!  She saw us too and waved back emphatically.  I had just enough time to snap a picture. 

You get the idea

Party time!

Well, it happened!  Luke is 4, Sofia's almost 4, William is 2 and we had a party for them yesterday!  I can't believe how old they're getting!  Sofia and Luke were only 1 and William wasn't even around when I started showing up at Biehl family dinners.


The birthday kids!  I asked Luke if I could take a picture of him and he said "no" so this is the best I've got- he's in his new Captain America outfit.  that's Sofia with her new horse named Spongebob.  As of today the horse's name is now Swiftwind.  And there's Will!  Always adorable!

CAKE!  They always have the cutest home made cakes!

Pinata time!  From left to right: William didn't know what to do.  Sofia hits like a girl.  Kariana had some punch.  And Ammon couldn't find the pinata.

Luke was definitely the best!  First he tapped the ground with his bat, then he made the Ichiro pose before going in to his batting stance, and finally hit the pinata with surprising force for one so small. 

We had a great time!  And enjoyed Luke's presents...

Last year's celebration: here.

Sunset

Well, it's been a crazy week, but it's settling down. As my mom's in Europe for 3 weeks (I think she's in Barcelona right now) I doing much more for the twins than I usually do. Not everything has gone smoothly and Kurt and I ended up making an extra trip up to Anacortes on Wednesday. On our way back to Bothell we decided to stop by Washington Park and watch (some of) the sunset. I can't believe I grew up in such a beautiful place! I forget sometimes. Being able to sit for a half hour and watch the gorgeous sunset was just what I needed.
