The Race, The Park, and The Argentine Girl

This weekend Jaron participated in a team race with his co-workers down in a place called Wenatchee. He left Friday night and got back Saturday evening. The race included cross country skiing (which was Jaron's main leg 3 miles) (click on the link then scroll to team 408) for photos or wait till I (jaron) get them up (which was Jaron's main leg 3 miles), downhill skiing, biking, canoing, running, and a sprint at the end (which Jaron also did). They did great, placing fifth in their division! (team peanut butter in the open rec division). I'm hoping Jaron will do a blog on further details with pictures from Brad's camera because it really did sound like a lot of fun!

While J was in Wenatcheee, Olivia and I joined our friends Meg, Jane (Pictured below), and Grey (The Singley's newest addition) in a venture to Seahurst park in West Seattle. It was a gorgeous day, and is such a beautiful park. We had so much fun walking on the trail that skirts along the Pudget Sound and throwing rocks into the ocean.


I have no idea what she is laughing at in this picture, but talk about a whole-hearted laugh!
By the way did I tell you that we adopted an Argentine?? Oh, well we did. Spur of the moment type thing. Here she is.
Ok Ok so she's not an Argentine, but she is wearing an Argentine outfit, so thats close right?
This last picture is totally random. Annette brought over some beautiful roses last Sunday and I just felt like my house looked better with them in it. I also took some of the flowers still looking alive and healthy from Jaron's beautiful bouquet and put them in a short, square vase. I liked the table setting and just thought I would post it for fun. You know, some days I feel like I'm just a little girl still playing house.
Ok one more, feelin picture happy today:
Just tryin to make you smile

You look like you are having so much fun up in Seattle, like you haven't even missed a beat being 1400 miles from family! Your daughter is beautiful! How fun to see her! She is such a great mix of you and mostly Jaron. There was a time when I had my table set all the time, just because it looked nice and the kids couldn't get to it. That didn't last too long. Playing house is great!

You know, in some of her pictures - her hair actually looks light brown. Is it really pretty dark? Cute one of you with her :)

Her hair is a lot lighter than mine or Jaron's. It's a medium brown I would say. Not dark. The funny thing is that when she was born she had so much thick, black hair, and then it all fell out :(. I'm afraid she won't have any hair until she's 5 at this rate!
