Halloween 2015

This year we joined Mamie and Papa at their awesome neighborhood party for Halloween!

The kids went as Minions, which of course I planned sometime back in August (ha!)  I got my Mom working on revisions by late September, and so the planning process was pretty light this year (for me anyway.  Thanks again, Mom!)

At the last minute (we're talking a day-of, nap time "ah-ha" moment), Kevin decided to go as Gru, which left me out of the loop, but with nursing and the general requirements of Mommyhood, I had enough going on.  Either way, it was a lesson learned.  Starting next year, it's back to family costumes (it's just so fun!)

Anyway, we stopped by Gma and Gpa's on the way out to West Seattle to show them the crew.  Being the great cheerleaders that they are, they dressed up in support of our little broad  :)








After hangin' with the fan base, we were off to Mamie and Papa's for the party!

Since the weather was rainy, they rented a large tent and heater, so everyone enjoyed an evening outdoor with food, drinks, and great company!  Steph and Reid joined us too, so it was fun hanging out with them for the night.

And of course, Abigail and George's favorite part was trick or treating, the candy, and the endless stream of hot dogs, juice, and chips  ;)

Starting it off right at Pap's train table (where he stayed for the first hour)

And finally left, with trains in hand  ;)

Freezing cold, with his loot slung over his shoulder.  He slays me.

More chips!

Abigail talked for weeks about how Papa was going to be dressing up as a hot dog  :)

Ending the night right with an episode of Thomas

We had a great time celebrating Halloween this year!  Thanks again Mamie and Papa for such a fun party- we had a blast!

I hope everyone enjoyed an equally enjoyable night.

Happy Halloween!

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...
