Commencement, August 21, 2010.

Taya and mom after the ceremony.

Emily led the Master's degree candidates into the ceremony carrying the

 Graduate School gonfalon, followed by Taya, as the first graduate student.

Very special day indeed.

Anya was a trooper throughout the entire ceremony. But enough is

enough. No paparazzi please.

Dr. Leo Bodensteiner did me the honor of hooding me...

and a fine job he did.

Visiting the triplets.

We visited the triplets at bedtime and only had a chance to snap a picture of

Margo. Or Brooke (they're identical and hard to tell apart). But I'm pretty

sure this is Margo.

Of course Anya's favorite part was storytime with Auntie Jen!

Jeff, Angie and kids visit!

Emily and Anya with cousins Ben and Abby.

Angie, Jeff, Taya & Tony.

Siblings.

Running through the sprinkler at Grandma Cathi's.

Summer on Chuckanut

Another beautiful sunset on Chuckanut...

Anya is a big fan of the outdoor shower.

Coco loves the swingset.

What's summer without smores?

Yummy!

Because cookies weren't enough at Grandma Cathi's...

bring on the popcicles!

Summer of fun.

Anya's very first face painting experience. She was 

quite pleased with the outcome.

Tony decided it was time to camp out with Anya. REI tent provided

compliments of Jim Kelly.

Sleeping pads also provided by Jim. Anya couldn't

contain her excitement!

It's not enough that Jim brings the tent, all paraphernalia, and assists in set up...
he also must play "camping" with Anya. You are a good sport Jim.

 Just waiting for it to get dark.

 What do you mean it doesn't get dark until nearly 10pm?

Anya didn't wake once during the night. Turned out to be a successful
1st time camping out!

 First trip to the Fairhaven water park. What took us so long?
