Haloween and Nile's b-day

Matt got Nile a blow torch for her birthday. We made banana brule. It's simply bananas dipped in sugar and then torched. It was very quick and very tasty.

We went to Katie's haloween party as the 3 blind mice with Sarah. Here is our beautiful hostess... a devil, and the winner of the costume contest - the flasher.

We had friends over for Nile's birthday the next day. Matt made a cake using his new skills from the cake decorating class that Nile gave him for his brithday.

Fire season

Fire season has started in Seattle. (Or at least in our apartment.) Mmm... Marshmallows are tasty.

Cooper at the park

Cooper likes to swim. swish swish. He had a little trouble getting in to the water, so Nile gave him a litte push.

Queen of the Night

The Queen of the Night is a beautiful and fragrant flower that blooms at night. We made a special evening session at the conservatory with a few friends. Sarah came over to see it with us.
