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!

Better get going...Kevin's been hard at work in the yard all morning...and I've been toying around on here  :)

Hope everyone enjoys this beautiful Mother's Day weekend!

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

Cocina Esperanza

Just had to give a shout out to our new restaurant find!  Kevin and I were driving around the Sunset Hill / Blue Ridge neighborhoods last weekend and came upon this little Mexican restaurant.  A very unassuming place...small brick building near the corner of NW 85th & 30th Ave (right next to the north entrance of Golden Garden's and Shilshole Bay Marina).  We finally got around to checking it out late last week, and oh boy, have we been missing out!! Now, any of you who know me, know I'm a self proclaimed Mexican food connoisseur...and by connoisseur, I mean boarder line obsessive.  I love all things Mexican cuisine...especially melted cheese.  So I should admit; their whole "authentic" label had me a bit apprehensive ...."will there be enough melted cheese on my food??"   was sadly my first thought  (hey, I'm pregnant...give a girl a break!)  So, late last week, we wandered in, found a nice table by the window, ordered the queso dip (yep, the

Two!

Yesterday you turned two; I can hardly believe it! Two year pictures, wearing a dress I wore when I was little You are such a funny, sweet little girl, and I love seeing your personality unfold more each day.  This last month you've really started coming out of your shell and love making people laugh; whether tickling "gee gee gee gee" , or joking around (the other day you took a doll house high chair and pretended to sit in it...all the while looking back at me smiling and laughing like "look, I'm going to try and sit in this teeny highchair!" ), you sure know how to make us laugh. Music is your first love.  Beach Boys Greatest Hits is the current album favorite , so we listen to it in the car every day.  Mainly to Barbara Ann (you always request "ba ba ba" ).  You also love listening to Swiss music with Grandma and having Dad play "Abigail Loves Cheese" on his guitar when he gets home at night. Schwingfest is this Saturday a
