September 2012

Summer has been a really busy time for us.  Casey finished up his Kindergarten year at Minnehaha.  He had a great year and made a lot of new friends.  Casey, Emily, and myself flew down to San Francisco at the end of June to attend Erica's wedding.  It was great seeing family and doing a little sightseeing while we were there.  Emily was a great traveler and slept the majority of the flight down and the flight back!

We moved to a new house in July and have been busy getting moved and settled in at the new house.  It's up in the Salmon Creek area of Vancouver (North vancouver) so not too far from where we were before.

Casey lost his 1st tooth the day before he started 1st Grade at his new school!  He was very excited for the tooth fairy to come, but wanted to make sure she left his tooth so he wrote her a note and left it by his pillow.

He has several more very loose teeth so it's just a matter of time before his mouth is full of holes!

Casey was also very excited to start 1st Grade at his new school.  Eric and I both took him to school on his 1st day.


Erin and Chris had their baby (Emma) on September 8th!  We went and visited them in the hospital and Casey and Emily enjoyed meeting their new cousin.



Eric and I took the kids to the Vancouver Sausage Festival this last weekend.  None of us had been before and were suprised how nice it was.  It's the 2nd largest Festival after the Clark County Fair.  They had booths, food, music, games, and rides.  Casey and Emily enjoyed going on a few rides.
