Matthew's first night at Cubbies

They Do Love Each Other! TV Junkies!

Matthew's First Day of Preschool!

Front Porch View

The answer is Yes, I am going to miss living here! This is the view I get out my kitchen window on clear days here! Hannah's room is even better, you are able to see all of Mount Rainier from her window! Kendra tells me in the fall it's gorgeous with all the leaves changing colors! Hope I get to see that!

Japanese Steakhouse Night!

So it is aparently multicultural month in the Porter house. We decided a couple of weeks ago to brave taking the kids to a Japanese steakhouse and they loved it! Matthew kept begging the chef for "more Fire" while Hannah exclaimed "Wow" everytime he gave in to Matthew's request! It was fun and the kids really enjoyed their fried rice and "yum-yum" sauce!

Game Day!

Eating Ethiopian with Friends

So to Josh's joy, our fabulous friends Joe and Candace invited us to join them at an Ethiopian restaurant in Seattle to help celebrate their baby girl Ruby's upcoming 1st Birthday! We were thrilled to join them and quite plesantly surprised at how much I (Christy) enjoyed the food! And Ruby really seemed to enjoy her Birthday treat!
