Coast Guard Reunion - With RJ, Heather and Mo

Heather and Mo, classmates of Eben's from the Coast Guard Academy, stopped over for a few days in Seattle on their cross-country move from San Diego to Sitka, Alaska. We loved seeing them and their four dynamic kids again. We had been stationed together in Connecticut so it was great to catch up. Heather and Jennie are close friends, too, so we all got together for a day at Jetty Island while they were in town. Here is Mo with Xavier, Charlotte, Isaac, Finnian and Edison.

 The tide was very low and it was perfect for a big walk before lunch.


 It was even warm enough for swimming once the tide came up.
 Evie, Bea and Reed are all just three months apart and will turn two this fall.
That night, RJ, another Academy classmate, was stopping in Seattle while his flight had an overnight layover en route from Alaska back to DC.  It was wonderful to catch up with him and we trekked up to Jennie's for an early breakfast with everyone before he had to leave. He was amazing with the kids - probably because he could really play on their level.
