The Knights: October 2014

http://savodd.quaddi.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, October 5, 2014. My friend Taylor at Eden and Me Photography. Eloise made this pose up. Isn't this light gorgeous? Thanks for the pictures, Taylor! I'm so glad to have these beautiful pictures to remember our family this way. Posted by Todd Knight. Some cuties and a Seattle field trip. We fled the bug bombs with a zoo trip one day. We had to get to the parts of the zoo that we missed with Faith and Jorge. Little wolf cubs in their den. We did bring our friend, Stanley. You can read more about...

The Knights: March 2015

http://savodd.quaddi.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 19, 2015. While we wait for baby. Three hours of work and worm finding later, this is what our garden looks like. It isn't terribly impressive, but it is a labor of love. These pictures were taken before we added layers of jackets to keep out the blustery sea breeze from Puget Sound. As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, B yelled, "Seagulls! Can I go chase seagulls? The ticket seller told us that there have been some whale sightings in the sound recently, so we should keep an eye out...

The Knights: May 2015

http://savodd.quaddi.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, May 24, 2015. When we have not been playing with Grandparents, we have been keeping ourselves busy. During one rainy day we painted birdhouses. B wants to do everything Sammy does. He has renamed himself B-Sam anytime he wants to be like Sammy. When he wants to be picked up, he says, "Hold B-Sam, Mommy! After they had a bath together, Sammy got his blue jammies on, so B-Sam needed to have his blue jammies and a hat on, too. Here they are together. B loved the sunglasses and the Cars. Movie on the...

The Knights: July

http://savodd.quaddi.com/2015/08/july.html

Monday, August 10, 2015. This is possibly the last picture we will ever take of B in a diaper. With cousins gone and no trips planned, B started potty training in the middle of July. This is also a cute brothers picture, although Sammy is a little nervous to be left on the couch with only the boys. Sometimes they forget he is a human. It was fun to change up our monthly visit to the temple with a different temple. And then the mushroom said, 'Why not? I'm a fun guy! Oh You've heard that one before.".

The Knights: July 2015

http://savodd.quaddi.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Thursday, July 9, 2015. Our Hot Washington Summer. This picture was taken just before we left the park with Eloise and B both screaming and crying. You can probably see the sadness in Eloise's face. Eloise, it turns out, had a fever of 102.9. She was the latest casualty of the cousin disease from Texas. B just likes to cry when other people are crying to complicate things. Sammy isn't the only one to be found in various states of undress at any given moment. Hurrah for the beach. Other Blogs We Follow.

The Knights: More cousin fun

http://savodd.quaddi.com/2015/08/more-cousin-fun.html

Sunday, August 9, 2015. When we had been home from Houston for one week, we got a visit from Colette. Jacob, Rachel, Annie, Ryan, and Megan. We have been waiting for three years for this visit! All of the delightful cousin chaos commenced immediately. B and Ryan spent a lot of the week together. The dark underground fish ladder viewing area gives everyone scary eyes in pictures. We want to the museum and watched a video about the locks while Todd went back to the car for our lunch. I say "watched a v...

The Knights: Samuel Dale Knight

http://savodd.quaddi.com/2015/04/samuel-dale-knight.html

Monday, April 6, 2015. Samuel Dale Knight was born at 8:01 am on April 2, 2015. He weighed 8 lbs. 9 oz., was 19.5 inches tall, and perfect in every way. Here is his first portrait, about four minutes after he was born. Every inch of him is perfect! He has blonde fuzz on his head and blackish blue eyes that open a little bit wider every day. Three hours after he was born, we were cleared to go home. Here is Sammy in his carseat, ready for the ride home. I got them both on my lap and we identified Sammy's ...

The Knights: February 2015

http://savodd.quaddi.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Saturday, February 21, 2015. I can't believe how much of life we are living outside in February. It is wonderful. This is a picture of a picnic we had on our porch after a very long walk on a day when the temperature hovered around 60 degrees. Have the runny noses, I thought it would be best to meet somewhere neutral, where they wouldn't all be sneezing on the same toys, and since the weather continues to cooperate, we had a great play date at the park. I couldn't get them all to look at me for the pictu...

The Knights: Knight-Hoefferle-Christensens

http://savodd.quaddi.com/2015/08/knight-hoefferle-christensens.html

Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Friday with the Hoefferles was tide pool day. We drove up to Deception Pass State Park. We got ready on the drive with tide pool vocabulary worksheets. B's favorite tide pool word is anemones. Eloise also perused our field guide to find rocky sgore dwellers to search for. It was a 90 degree day in Kirkland, so I thought that surely it wouldn't be freezing on Fidalgo Island. False. It was frigid. Shorts and single jackets were inadequate. Jared really wanted to go on a tour of ...
