Life is Wonderful

Blogging everyday is becoming a thing of the past.  As I mentioned before, my hands are too busy holding this bundle of joy to break away to blog, and that's okay.  As I type, Abigail is laying on my chest, both arms wrapped up around my neck, and I couldn't be happier.  Motherhood is an amazing blessing.

So, in lieu of my normal updates, our life in pictures will be the extent of this blog for the next few weeks / months until I master the ropes of Motherhood.

Like how I optimistically use the word "master"?  ;)

We enjoyed an evening at the zoo on Sunday for Abbie's first concert; below are some pictures.






Sunday morning I also took a stab at pumping and it went really well; minus the fact that Kevin came downstairs with Abigail 5 minutes into it, letting me know she was hungry (great timing kid..).  So, instead of storing the milk, we gave her a bottle, and wah-la!, she took it like a pro.

You rock Littles!!


Yesterday and today we've been relaxing and hanging out.  My Mom and Soula came to visit today, and when we got home tonight, Abbie had her first piece of mail; her Social Security card... now an official US citizen!



Whelp, that's all for today.

Be back later in the week with more updates from Babyland  :)

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...
