Happy Birthday, Heidi!

I'm home now—got in this afternoon—after a wonderful time with Heidi and her family. This was an unusual time for me in Seattle since Heidi and Chad were in the middle of a move to a new house when I arrived. It worked out well, however, because I was able to help with the kids so that Chad and Heidi could do some things at the old house.

I really enjoyed playing with Marshall and getting to know Corinne better. Here are some of the photos I took.

This was Chad's birthday dessert: a strawberry/rhubarb buckle. His birthday is July 11.

Heidi created these beautiful blown glass bowls. The fur tree was carved from a large chunk of a sequoia tree. She asked for the chunk after the homeowner took the tree down. It was on her walking route.
