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.

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...

Chillin' with breechy (more on that below...)
Abigail insisted on sleeping in a big girl bed all weekend, and did great!

Birthday breakfast sammy with candles  :)




Abigail sang "Happy Birthday to Dada" all day long  :)
Sunday morning swim with Mamie
Our hummus monster  :)

I already miss this trip.

Abigail is the perfect age for cabin getaways.  The new stimuli keeps her busy all day and sleeping well each night.  Plus, having the time away to unplug as a family is so necessary.  Although we did have Internet service... which we used... often  :)

We had such a great time and can't wait for our next family adventure!

Speaking of family adventures...

 Baby update: 

Our little acrobat is still flipping around (full breech last week, head down this weekend, now currently transverse) and yesterday was our version. Dr. Koala did her best, but Little One was resistant to move and we only got as far as a footling breech before calling it quits.  

 We were transverse before the version, and about an hour later, s/he flipped back from footling breech into the current favorite: transverse.  Baby moves on no one's clock but their own  :)

So...I have another 2 weeks to get this munchkin turned around.  Acupuncture, Webster Method, ice packs, inversions, and pelvic tilts will consume my waking hours until then.

...stay tuned, and please send good baby flipping love our way!

Tanya, when you get baby in the "right" position for birth, talk to your doctor about, sweeping the membranes. I equate it to cleaning out the cobwebs. It encourages the onset of labor. It took Isabel less then 2 days to make her decision to come out after that appointment. She consequently arrived 3 weeks early. Good Luck and Godspeed! 2nd time around is soooo much easier!

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...
