Dear Mai,
This past week has been a return to stereotypical Seattle weather: damp, dreary and chilly. I dare not say cold as this is nothing compared to Ohio but it is cold. Cold for us at least.
But before the weather took a turn we had some fun squeaking out a few more fun days in some awesome autumn weather. When we first moved to Seattle we were concerned that we were going to miss all 4 seasons. Growing up in Ohio there was a definite distinction between all four seasons and fall was always a favorite. The colors, the crisp fall air all were so welcome after some ridiculously hot summer days. To our surprise, Seattle does have fall like weather too! Granted, it isn't as intense or drastic as the weather back east but we do get to experience the changing colors and change in weather. Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons. I'm glad we're not entirely missing it.
This year, Fall has been awesome in Seattle. (minus this past week) A few weeks back we we're lucky enough to get outside, enjoy the weather and the great company of our friend Sonja. Sonja also happens to be an awesome photographer so we asked her to capture a moment in your life for us. She did not disappoint and I'm so happy to be able to document how awesome you are right now with some high-quality awesome pictures. I'm glad to see that you haven't been plagued with the awkward photo taking abilities that your mother and I seem to posses either.
Here are just a few of the awesome ones. You insisted that your baby Emily be included in a few photos. You actually wanted her in all the photos. We had to pull a jedi mind trick and hide her after a few.
