Seattle Sunshine

The Lauckner's are loving this sunshine!

Last Thursday we went to Zoe Yogurt at Greenlake for dessert (a habit we more than slightly indulge).  We hadn't planned a swim, but we gave Abigail her own yogurt and she'd made a bit of a mess...



Not too thrilled that yogurt time was over

So it was time for a down-to-diapers dip!

She loved sitting at waters edge, dangling her little feet in the water, and eventually getting the nerve to take a few steps in.  Of course we had no change of clothes or extra diapers.





Walking back to the car was a pretty big Mommy fail: pregnant lady carrying an I-don't-want-to-leave-so-I'm-going-to-yell toddler, wearing nothing but a soggy (and mind you, dirty!) diaper and sneakers with no socks  (needless to say, I got my fair share of looks).

But Saturday's water activities went smoothly; we spent the day downtown, stopped at the Aquarium, then spent the evening on Alki.

(a bus ride in, followed by the Water Taxi to West Seattle for dinner at Marination.)

The serious business of bus riding.  Bitsy Girl holds on tight!

Abigail was a hit on the water taxi (I'll post the video as soon as I figure out how).  She would sing as we went over waves and managed to entertained everyone on the bow.

There were even a few people taking pictures of her in action.  What a ham!

Once we got to WS, we spent some time throwing rocks in the Sound.  She thought it was so funny watching the rocks splash into the water.

Having fun with Daddy
Action shot!
Deep thoughts

And lucky for us, Mamie and Papa were free, so they met us at Marination for dinner and gave us a ride home.  (thanks again!   A ferry and bus ride adventure at 7pm would have made for a very long evening)

This week we're gearing up for Father's Day (well, I am anyway).

I can't wait to spent the weekend celebrating Kevin, Papa, and Grandpa!

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.
