Mother's Day Tea!

Kevin and I are leaving in 12 hours for Kauai!!! but before I go, I wanted to share pictures from Mother's Day Tea at Abigail's school!

I received an invitation a week ago.  Since then the kids have been working on projects preparing for the big event.

Upon arriving, us Moms were asked to wait in the hallway where we would be greeted by our child, then escorted into the classroom

(this alone made my heart burst!  Seriously, how cute is THAT?!)  

So here I was waiting for my little one when Abigail shyly rounds the corner, looking down, clearly intimidated but oh-so-excited.

"Mama, you come with me", she said.

What she was suppose to say was "Welcome to Mother's Day Tea!  Will you please join me?"

(It's all just too cute!)

So in we went and sat at a table with her friend Grace and Grace's Mom.  After making bracelets, the kids served us strawberry shortcake with lemonade and iced tea.

Then after everyone was finished, the kids got up and sang "If You're Happy and You Know it"  (see below video).  This was my first experience with a kid's pseudo-concert, so beaming with first-time pride I was!

Then we received a gift bag with a framed picture and a questionnaire all about us!

Here are some of my favorite from Abigail's:

How old is your Mom?  (3)

My Mom laughs when I? (get owies)

My Mom weights (I don't know) pounds

:)

The whole thing was just beyond me.  I was so happy to be sitting with Abigail at her school, spending time with her and her friends.  And the happiest part was seeing her beam with pride having me there!

(I know this only last so long, so just bare with me through the sappy "golden years")  :)











Bitsy Girl, I know you're still too young to read this, but someday you will.

I want you to know how proud I was of you and how very happy it makes me each and every day to wake up and be your Mommy!

Yesterday you filled me with love beyond measure and made me feel like a Queen.

I absolutely, positively, head over heels adore you.



Thank you for being you, sweet girl.

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...
