Roll Up, Roll Up

We celebrated George's first birthday with a circus themed affair last weekend and had so much fun catching up with family and friends!



As always, I found myself running around, having less than full conversations with every person I spoke to, and feeling generally frazzled, but such is the life of the hostess :)

(as I say at the end of each party: next year I'll hire a caterer and photographer!)

In keeping with a circus themed event, we had a bouncy house, hot dog bar, peanuts, kid friendly popcorn (cheese puffs), pin the nose on the clown, and a circus tent smash cake.

It was such a fun party!




The red dye on George's cake was a bit much for our birthday boy, but once he found his way around it, it was a smooth sailing sugar rush!






Of course Abigail joined in on the smash  :)

After having her hair and face grabbed by a cake covered brother, she figured he owed her a few bites!






Getting bathed and cleaned up took a while, but once that was done, we were able to relax and spend the rest of the day visiting with family and friends.

Here are more pictures from the day!






















Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate George's special day!

Having a big, festive celebration helped make our new house feel like home, so we appreciate everyone who took the time to come.

And a final, very happy birthday wish to my sweet baby boy.



I really can't believe you're one.

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...
