More Seattle Photos

It was so nice to see my friends while I was in town and I loved having a coffee playdate for the boys. Tabbi and Natasha have kids the same age as Jack and Ethan so it was a lot of fun for the boys to go over to Tabbi's to play, and it was so nice. And to have Janine (who lives nearby) join us was icing on the cake!




One of Ethan's favorite things was to ride on Grandma Alice's "Cadillac" just like Jack used to at this age. Plus it was fun to show him off to all the other people at her home. They enjoyed seeing Ethan's smiling face riding around the place.









The day before the wedding we headed into Seattle to Ride the Duck and see the Space Needle. We stopped at a park in Queen Anne, overlooking the city to get a photo of my favorite view of the city. It reminded me of living in Queen Anne numerous years ago!

While riding on "The Duck" I got a great photo of the Pike Place Market, another of my favorite Seattle places. I used to work at the end of the market and I miss the days of walking there during lunch to get fresh flowers and yummy food!

After the Duck we headed up to the top of the Space Needle with our cousin and his family from out of town, which we haven't seen in YEARS! We had the best time and Jack LOVED the Space Needle. Afterward, the boys left with Nana and Granddad and I got a chance to hang out in the city with Jason, Adele, Neil, Helen and Isabella. We had the best time catching up and I couldn't have asked for a better night.


The day of the wedding was fantastic! Jason and Adele had PERFECT weather and the location in Kirkland was beautiful. It was a small, intimate, very emotional ceremony and a wonderful reception. Jack was the ring bearer and did a pretty good job. He got a bit bored and ended up on the floor tossing the ring pillow (with the rings attached, I might add) around until I stopped him!






The reception was at a restaurant just down the road, so we all walked there in a wedding procession. Once we got there, Jack fell asleep and basically slept the whole time. Ethan had a great time playing, having slept most of the ceremony on Grandma Christy's shoulder! Following the reception was an after party up at Aunt Sherry's. It was another great party and an excellent way to cap the day's events!



The next day we had an open house at Mom and Dad's for the new couple and for me and the boys. It was another beautiful day and we had a nice casual afternoon with friends and family stopping in to visit.





Since Nana and Granddad live by the airport one of Jack's favorite things to do is go watch the airplanes. And now that they have the third runway open at Seatac Airport, the plane come in right over your head. So on our last day in Seattle, we spent some time watching the airplanes land.

We had a great trip, and while we were sad to leave, we knew it was time to get home and get ready to pack up the house and move to our new home.

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

The Olympics

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I've last posted a message. I guess it's been due to a combination of being really busy and not having much to say! Is that a contradiction? We've been letting Jack stay up late since Friday so that he could enjoy the Olympics. He really enjoyed the opening ceremony and has been in awe of the gymnastics. We went to a BBQ on Sunday night and just as we were getting ready to leave they put the ladies gymnastics on and all the kids say and watched. We had to drag Jack away. In other news, we're getting ready to do a really crazy thing. After only two months of having no debt and house payment, we're putting in an offer on a new home! We really had no plans to do this, but when we went to visit our friends on Sunday, we decided to drive around and look at the houses there. We had looked in there back before Ethan was born and fell in love with the place so we thought we'd just take a look and see how much i...

Busy week

It's been a busy week with little things here and there, which is getting me ready for the busy summer ahead of us with gymnastics, swimming and all Ethan's therapies. Whew, I need a break from just thinking about it. We did have a nice walk down to our community playground this afternoon. Ethan couldn't stop laughing on the swings and the slide (he couldn't get enough of the slide) and Jack made a little friend! Great afternoon. Speaking of therapies, Ethan starts his occupational therapy next week and I'm so excited. We got the therapy notes back from his evaluation and, while I'm not positive on how I'm reading it, the scores say from poor to very poor. We have been very lucky that Ethan hasn't had any medical issues and so far he seems to be doing well with responding to his therapies, so I really want to make sure he has the best of everything. Today has just made me a little blue thinking about Ethan not being 100% of what other kids are and ...
