School Pics
Skyler's first "official" school photo and, of course, Liam with his Seahawks sweatshirt that he never takes off!
First family hike - Thanksgiving 2014
I have been dying to get out with the kids and actually attempt a "real" hike. We have taken them to St. Edwards a few times and while it is certainly beautiful and we have always had fun, it has left me longing for something more. Today we made our first attemp at Little Si. It is just over two…
Fall Morning
One of the neighborhood moms text me this morning to see if I wanted to walk down to Starbucks with the kids and then over to the park. Since Leif was heading to the island for the day to winterize the place, I figured, why not!? It ended up being two adults, one baby…
Halloween 2014
It was a full day and I was so grateful to have the time to participate in all the fun events today. Both kids had parties in their classes and then paraded around the school showing off their costumes - Rainbow Dash (My Little Pony) and Leonardo (Teenage Mutant Ninga Turtle). Liam told me I…
Liam's 7 year check up
We were about a month and a half late but here are his stats at 7 years old! Such a healthy kid and thriving in so many areas. His favorite things are playing football, watching football, football video games and Presley. So proud of our first born!
Conference Week
I am using this blog entry to discuss the craziness of the last three weeks because, although I feel like the stress may kill us, going to Liam and Skyler's school conferences this morning made everything feel okay again! Three weeks ago we lost our nanny. It is a VERY long story and I…
Seahawks in San Diego
I hesitated to put "Seahawks" in the title of this post because the game was so painful to watch, but they are the reason I planned this trip for Leif's birthday and I guess they can have a bad day. They let the 12than down but all in all we had a great trip. I am not going to lie. I love my kids…
Comments that make my heart sing...
Liam to mommy after we played "hit the bottle with a rock" on the beach at Herron Island for 5 minutes and he hit it 11 times and me once: "I have an idea mom...I will move the stick behind the bottle and try to hit that so it will be a little more challenging for me but you can still try to…
Plaza Garcia
Nowhere like Plaza Garcia after a long day when all I need is happy kids and a big glass of wine. Leif was out with his colleagues who are in town for the week so what the heck...we went out too! Presley really enjoyed the limes!
