Grandma and Amalia "writing" together.  Spanning generations, love runs deep here.

Go Seahawks!

Thanks to our sweet friend, Susan, we got to go to a Seahawks game!  What a game!  It was sold out and it was my first game since the King Dome (yes, I am dating myself).  Simon had never been!  Our friend dL organized it all and what a fun day!

Sundari and Elijah's Wedding!

Congratulations Sundari and Elijah!

Simon met Elijah in his Sustainable Builders course and they became fast friends. Turns out- we adore them!  They got married at Golden Gardens in September.  I helped them set up the great event and it was marvelous!  They are both very creative and it showed through out the event.  They built this giant, gorgeous milagro, representing love and meaning "miracle" in Spanish.  This picture does not do it justice- the actual heart was made of shimmering vinyl and the flames waved in the air as a fan blew on it.  The giant piece was quite an effort!  Everyone loved to dance and pose in front of it- including us! 

 Each table had an individual, different decoration.  The balls represented the bride and groom.  Simon and I helped them decorate the balls one afternoon (but there were many more to do!)  Sundari's brother Ben and his wife Maria were the master minds behind this creativity.  One of the ones I made was below- the yarn representing Sundari's craftiness.  The ball with nuts and bolts represented Elijah's building efforts.  He is an architect.  Each decoration had a small ball of a milagro and this particular one had a small turtle to represent their future honeymoon- saving baby turtles in Costa Rica!

 Congratulations to the gorgeous bride and groom!  (Sundari's dress is made from reused kimono pieces.  Gorgeous!)
