George's First Swim!

Early this week we got a 3 day pass at the YMCA.  Since we're staying with my parents we thought it would be a fun place to take the kids after work and on the weekends.

We were slightly overzealous going into it Tuesday night: we went after work, dropped the kids at the Kids Zone (they did great!), worked out, then went for a family swim. 
 


First of all, going in to a family changing area with a two year old (who's just dying to open the door while you're changing), and a squirmy little 6 month old isn't easy, let alone the fact that after you're done, you have to strip off your own wet clothes as well as said children's, all the while ensuring no one is dropped (6 month old) or runs out of the room while you're stark naked (2 year old).

Two kids gives you such unfortunate insight into how easy you had it with one...  sigh.

Anyway, we will probably never do this again.  It was George's first swim (yay for fun firsts!) and he really seemed to enjoy it.  His little legs started kicking as soon as they met the water.  Abigail on the other hand was not so keen.  She's been going through an I-hate-taking-baths stage, so we somewhat expected it.


 
And since we're gluttons for punishment, we decided to find a hotel in Leavenworth this weekend with a pool. 

But at least we can change in our room, with the deadbolt set..

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...
