Six Years

Kevin and I celebrated our six year wedding anniversary this past weekend.  The actual day fell on a Sunday, so we farmed the kids off to our 12 year old neighbor girl (probably not the wisest choice we've ever made.  ha!) and celebrated a day early in town - just the two of us.

Between Westward for cocktail and oysters, and Serafina for an Italian dinner al fresco, we had a great time relaxing, talking (like actual adults!), and just catching up with each other.

These past 6 years have been so much fun, full of so much exciting change and growth, but sometimes it's hard staying connected through it all.  This year has been one of those, but having the opportunity to get away for an evening, reconnect, and start focusing on the future, brought with it much needed connection and clarity.





Kevin, 

 Happy six year anniversary - what an adventure it has been!  Looking back over these past 6 years; the babies, the moves, and all the fun along the way, I am so thankful for your adventurous spirit and willingness to go with the flow (even when I struggle with it, which is often)  :)  Now, with baby days behind us, I look forward to a whole new set of adventures... I know it will be great, and I thank you so much for being on this life journey with me.  As I love to say to G boy, "you're the BEST!"

 I love you, LD.

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. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle 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... Thursday evening f...

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...

Minnie

I knew this would be a hard post to write, so I've been putting it off. On Monday morning, we said goodbye to Minnie. After months of weight loss I brought her into the vet early this week.    I had been noticing the weight loss, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I started to see how skinny and malnourished she was getting. The vet determined she was suffering from late-stage hyperthyroidism and her kidneys were shutting down.  It was a painful assessment; why I didn't notice it earlier and help her?  That thought still haunts me. But at 11am on Monday morning, through a mountain of tears, regret, and sorrow, I bid farewell to the most loyal friend I've ever known. Minnie,  You were the first piece to my "own" family.  I remember vividly the day I got you.  It was my 21st birthday and Rebecca and Steph came over bearing a gift (more specifically, a brown grocery bag).  I opened it and looked inside; there you were,...
