Happy New Year

I'm totally exhausted coming into the new year, but feeling very blessed and thankful.

Maybe I'm finally coming down from a five month high.  Whatever it is, it feels right and I'm excited for the year ahead.



Late last week, Kevin decided we needed to get away for New Years weekend.

So here we were Friday morning, browsing online for cabins.  Around 10am he found a great place on the Hood Canal, and by 2pm we were packed and ready to get out of Dodge.


Spending the weekend with family was perfectly relaxing; a great way to reflect on the blessings of 2011 and ponder the year ahead with great anticipation.

Highlights from the weekend include gathering oysters from the beach, kayaking, a hike in the Olympics, lots of good food, fireworks, hot tub happy hours, and best of all: family.

Abigail was up with the sun Saturday morning, ready to go out with a bang.
She didn't however make it to midnight  ;)

2011 brought us unimaginable blessings.  It's been a year full of life, love, and growth-- the best yet.

So here's to an amazing 2012: may it overflow with laughter, love, good health, and prosperity for all!


Happy New Year

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

Merry Christmas!

May your day be Merry and Bright!

A Suburban NYE

We partied hard with neighbors for New Year's Eve this year, and it was perfect - no need to dress up, tackle crowds, or spend big bucks - add to that great friends who are also neighbors, and it's a win/win.
