New baby in the extended family!

What a beautiful movie to commemorate such a beautiful life.
Our son was very surprised to see his daddy so young, he was in awe and deeply moved at the loss of never knowing Grandma Candice.

A Mother's Day Story



This movie was made by Steve's dad. It is from old Sloan family movies of when Steve and Jeff were kids with pictures of their mother. Great work Dad!

Up to bat...

Talk about major league fun. Our oldest son
is playing ball again this year. He made Babe Ruth
try outs and is now hitting balls out of the park.
He has always been quite the hitter. He has a lot of
upper body strength. The coaches feel he can
go all the way.

Who says siblings don't get along.
Today the kids built a fort in the
living room. They had a blast.

At Bradner Gardens Park in Seattle

Here are some more pictures that Steve took over the weekend. This is at a community garden called Bradner Gardens Park, which is in Seattle.

Gardening Weekend

This weekend we went on a tour of community gardens in Seattle. We also did some shopping and got the best watering can. Steve loves the engineering and craftsmanship. Luci loves the style and color. What could be better?

Our New Raised Bed Garden

We are using the Square Foot Gardening method. The garden is shaded in the picture below because we spent all day getting it set up! See Luci's review for a smile. There are more pictures here.

Luci Makes National Honor Society
