Uncles

This week was all about Uncle time for Abigail.

As many of you know, Kevin's brother Mike left Thursday for Bike & Build; a 3500 mile journey across the United States building homes with Habitat for Humanity and raising awareness for affordable housing along the way.

It has been such a joy having him in Seattle these past 6 months, but Wednesday night we bid him farewell on this most awesome adventure.


And of course, we had resident photographer, Lucy Eisendrath, there to capture the event...  ;)

If you're not familiar with his trip and want to learn more, check out his website or follow him on Twitter (links embedded).

Good luck Mike!!  We'll miss you, but can't wait to hear updates along the way!

And speaking of new adventures, Abigail's been going under water at swim lessons the past few weeks, and I'm happy to report she's getting more comfortable being under water.

This past week, Victor joined us for swim lessons and took some pictures of our little Aqua Baby hard at work...




.... he was quite amused when our class sang "motor boat" during song time....  ;)





After swim lesson we ran over to Lowe's to pick up Kevin's new lawn mower... which Victor graciously helped put together



Who'da thought a lawnmower box would make such a great play pen  :)


Thanks again for coming over and helping us out, Victor.

And Mike- we are so excited for your adventures ahead!  Be sure to keep us updated!

Hope everyone enjoys this beautiful Mother's Day weekend!

Minnie

I knew this would be a hard post to write, so I've been putting it off. On Monday morning, we said goodbye to Minnie. After months of weight loss I brought her into the vet early this week.    I had been noticing the weight loss, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I started to see how skinny and malnourished she was getting. The vet determined she was suffering from late-stage hyperthyroidism and her kidneys were shutting down.  It was a painful assessment; why I didn't notice it earlier and help her?  That thought still haunts me. But at 11am on Monday morning, through a mountain of tears, regret, and sorrow, I bid farewell to the most loyal friend I've ever known. Minnie,  You were the first piece to my "own" family.  I remember vividly the day I got you.  It was my 21st birthday and Rebecca and Steph came over bearing a gift (more specifically, a brown grocery bag).  I opened it and looked inside; there you were,...

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family.  Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake  :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...
