Scubba Stratton

We took Stratton out to the pool for his first time, although I think Amy took him swimming before and didn't have the heart to tell me. As we were getting him ready I found a camo baby bikini that was slightly wet from the pool and freaked out because Amy is always saying how she wants to put bows in his hair and play dress up. I was very relieved to find out it was his cousin's, Addie. Excuse the photo it was taken from Amy's cell phone.

Rubbin' Shoulders with Mike Holmgren

We have a motion activated buzzer at the front of the Gallery so dad and I know when someone has come in so we can greet them. I was painting and noticed a large man standing behind me and acting little suprised because the buzzer hadn't alerted me, I exclaimed "oh, Hi!" not recognizing that it was the head coach of the Seahawks. Mike (we are totally on a first name basis now) starts talking to me like we know each other, and it wasn't until much later in the conversation that I asked what he did for a living. Then he realized that I hadn't known who he was this whole time after all but he just laughed it off. I was able to get his photo but I wasn't able to sell him any art.

Happy Halloween!
