Father's Day Weekend

Last year we went to the lake for Father's Day, so this was Kevin's first year celebrating at home.

We kicked off our weekend festivities boating on Saturday with Mamie and Papa!

Abigail had a shirt for every occasion :)

Kevin was concerned that Abigail may not like the boat this year, but she seemed to love it! (at one point hanging off the bow and looking into the water. Maybe a bit too comfortable...)

We had dinner on the patio at Wilde Rover where Abigail devoured a hummus plate (and snuck in sips of ranch dressing when we weren't looking!), then stopped for sunset near Meydenbauer Bay on the way home.

We pulled into the slip around 9:45 and had Abigail in bed at the decent hour of 11pm ;)

(not to mention her "midnight snack" of beans, rice, and enchilada at 10:30pm!)

Sunday morning began with breakfast ~~in bed~~ on the couch while watching the US Open. Kevin requested a breakfast sandwich, which I completed with tater tots!

After nap we went to my parent's for a BBQ. Aside from the flash hail storm, it was a lovely afternoon spent celebrating Kevin and Grandpa, drinking craft beers (or in my case, Perrier), watching Abigail inhale yet another tub of hummus, and grilling burgers.

Bits and Dada!

Dancing with Grandma

Abigail and I had so much fun celebrating "Dada" this year!

I hope everyone enjoyed an equally festive weekend, and again, Happy Father's Day to all the amazing Dad's out there.

You guys make our world go round!

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 t...

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...

First Comes Love...
