Halloween 2015

This year we joined Mamie and Papa at their awesome neighborhood party for Halloween!

The kids went as Minions, which of course I planned sometime back in August (ha!)  I got my Mom working on revisions by late September, and so the planning process was pretty light this year (for me anyway.  Thanks again, Mom!)

At the last minute (we're talking a day-of, nap time "ah-ha" moment), Kevin decided to go as Gru, which left me out of the loop, but with nursing and the general requirements of Mommyhood, I had enough going on.  Either way, it was a lesson learned.  Starting next year, it's back to family costumes (it's just so fun!)

Anyway, we stopped by Gma and Gpa's on the way out to West Seattle to show them the crew.  Being the great cheerleaders that they are, they dressed up in support of our little broad  :)








After hangin' with the fan base, we were off to Mamie and Papa's for the party!

Since the weather was rainy, they rented a large tent and heater, so everyone enjoyed an evening outdoor with food, drinks, and great company!  Steph and Reid joined us too, so it was fun hanging out with them for the night.

And of course, Abigail and George's favorite part was trick or treating, the candy, and the endless stream of hot dogs, juice, and chips  ;)

Starting it off right at Pap's train table (where he stayed for the first hour)

And finally left, with trains in hand  ;)

Hittin' the streets in search of the goods

This little guy slept while his big brother and sister went Trick or Treating

Freezing cold, with his loot slung over his shoulder.  He slays me.

More chips!

Abigail talked for weeks about how Papa was going to be dressing up as a hot dog  :)

Ending the night right with an episode of Thomas

We had a great time celebrating Halloween this year!  Thanks again Mamie and Papa for such a fun party- we had a blast!

I hope everyone enjoyed an equally enjoyable night.

Happy Halloween!

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...
