Happy Birthday to Kevin

We spent the weekend in Leavenworth celebrating Kirk and Kevin's birthdays with my parents, Mamie, Papa, Victor, and Catherine.  Things get busy with three immediately family birthdays and one Grandparent birthday within 11 days, but it's also so much fun!


The weekend kicked off at Munchen Haus for Papa's birthday dinner of pitchers and Big Bob brats where the food filled our stomachs, while the live band filled the warm summer air.

It was a relaxing weekend sprinkled with a BBQ, some nice morning walks, and a mini-hike along the Tumwater.  Kevin's only request was to sleep in and play nine holes of golf Sunday morning.

(I only fulfilled the latter request... :/ )

Abigail loves telling people she's three, so this weekend we tried explaining to her that Daddy's now 33:

"So you know how you're three?  Well this weekend is Dada's  birthday and he's going to be three three!"

"Ooooh.  Okaaaaaay" 

I think we lost her on that one  :)

Friday night we celebrated Papa's birthday and George turning 11 months. 
Abigail found this hilarious ;)

My dancing fools!

My Mom, the kids, and I are staying for the week.  It's nice to have some post-birthday season down time and start gearing up for the new house, but I have to keep reminding myself to relax (things like invitations for George's party, blogging, ordering Abigail's school uniform, and paying bills are making my mind reel).

So on that note, I'm off to enjoy some time outside, and maybe a glass (or two) of wine.

But before I go, a happiest of birthdays to my sweet, amazing husband.  If it wasn't for you, I would be at least 10 times more neurotic ;)

Have a great week, everyone!

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...
