Not sure if it made the news in your home town, but earlier this week there was snow in the Northwest -Seattle area.  On our little island we got maybe 3 inches.  Well not a big deal except- just about every person behind the wheel of a vehicle did something not smart and it was a mad house on the roads.  Another time when my 3.5 mile "commute" is AWESOME.  The girls enjoyed playing in it, but we're ready for the rain to wash it away now...

My parents came to visit. First day - SUN  This is the view from Fort Casey beach.  One of several state parks here on the island, it's free and normally uncrowded. Cuddle...well actually just interested in the phone  The girls LOVE phones and iPods... be sure to know how to lock yours when you come to visit. New Skirts  My mom, Gail (Grandma Gail = GiGi) made the girls some new skirts.  The really enjoy wearing them and the absolutely clash with all of their tights - PERFECT.  We took the ferry to Port Townsend.  About a 25 minute ride and the little town is cute and full of history. cuddle time with grandpa jay CHEESE!! Wade-Carpenter  A great visit.  Hopefully they'll come for a visit in the summer too.  The whole getting dark at 4:30 thing was a bit of a downer for these San Diegans.
