wonderful evening

Nearly my entire family who are in Alaska were at our house tonight for a book/birthday/general celebration. Unka Packy and my cousin Moira Bu were up from Kenai, the latter of whom I didn’t expect and whom I hadn’t seen since she had her babies, the oldest of whom is THREE! and the youngest is like 18 months.

And last, but not least…

And last but not least (busy posting morning), I will be in Seattle June 9-11 to visit family and friends. Saturday is booked, but if you’re in Seattle and would like to hook up with me on Thursday or Friday, please drop me an email at catie AT cemurphy DOT net with a subject line of Seattle (so if my spam filter catches it, I can catch it back), and I will do my best to arrange visitation rights! Whew.
