A visit form some Texans!

At the end of February, Sara and Jason Rains came to visit us. We were thrilled (!) to see people from our neck of the woods. We also got out to see our first little bit of Seattle (and got our first parking ticket...). Sara also took me and Anais out to get our nails done - it was such a treat - and Anais' first time to get her nails done by a professional! She loved it and even though her toes were ruined at least three times before we left, she can't wait to go again. She did seem a little tired though afterward. And Jason was the perfect pillow.
We went to Alki Beach - a beautiful beach with beautiful homes on the western side of Seattle. Anais had never been to a real beach, so we let her walk in the sand with her bare feet and put her toes in the water. We warned her about the cold - but she did it anyways. To her credit - she did not complain at all!

After Sara and Jason headed to the airport, we decided to take advantage of being downtown and hit the Pike Place Market. Both Anais and Giselle fell asleep almost instantly once we got back in the car from the beach to the market, so the first hour or so, Francois and I strolled along with two sleeping babies. Soon enough, they woke up and started enjoying the market too. We ate some very tasty things in the downtown area - bargains I had found in a Seattle magazine! We sampled a little bit from several different eateries - it was very filling and very yummy!
A very nice man offered to take our picture as we were headed back out to our car. You can see how tired the girls were. And I love this shot of Anais and her daddy. All girls who love their daddy know what I mean. =)
