Grandma Gloria's visit.

Becky's mom Gloria came for a visit recently. We had a great time showing her around our new house and Tacoma. As is often the case, we had so much fun we forgot to take many photos. Each of the twins got to stay home from preschool one day to spend it alone with Grandma, and they also stayed home with her together one day. That is always their favorite part of her visits.

This photo was taken as we waited for the circus - August and Rose's first - to start at Cheney Stadium.

The twins took a ride on an elephant before the show.

We also took a trip to Titlow Beach during low tide to collect shells and sea glass. Of course, the kids were most fascinated by the dead things we found - dead crabs, dead jelly fish, dead flounder...
