Last week, we had the pleasure of spending time with our family in South Carolina. While the travel there makes for a long day, it was sure worth it to see everyone for a few days! This was our first time purchasing a seat for Beatrice on the plane. She did a great job despite [...]

May 16, 2012We Got a Dog!
April 10, 2012Meet Biscuit: he’s a sparkly orange dachshund who loves playing in a measuring cup, sitting on the ottoman, and running around in Beatrice’s hand. He is the perfect pet for us: A couple of months ago, Beatrice received some pencils from a friend. These are proper pencils which require a pencil sharpener to make them [...]
Family Fun Day
January 22, 2012The snow has melted and while it was beautiful, staying inside for the better part of four days with a toddler while I have a head cold wasn’t something I’d planned for the last weeks prior to the arrival of our sweet second-born. It did, however, mean that Jonathan was working from home for the [...]
Snow!
January 17, 2012We have been reading books about snow, snowmen, snow angels, and snowplows with Beatrice and she still hadn’t seen snow (that she could remember). This weekend though, all of that changed! We had quite a good snowfall Sunday afternoon. Here are some photos of our fun in the snowy weather: She liked being out in [...]
Our Day
December 22, 2011Here are some tips for you…in case you’re as dumb as me. If you are laterish in your pregnancy, do not plan to drop off your car to have repairs made without knowing how long said repairs will take. If you do decide to take the plunge, make plans to do something other than walk [...]
It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
December 12, 2011Thanksgiving came and went with a whirlwind of activity and fun. We had new flooring installed in the kitchen the day before Thanksgiving, which made for a very full week. We were blessed to have our family here with us to share in the feast and enjoyed some really delicious food together! We’re not bad [...]
October Recap
November 5, 2011October was a busy month! We took a family roadtrip to Chico, CA. Beatrice did a great job in the car! Naturally, we’d stocked up on activities, books and a portable DVD player and of course, one of her favorite items to play with was a crumpled paper towel. We stayed in a hotel and [...]
Ingrid Michaelson
September 14, 2011One of our friends, Andrew, alerted us this weekend that Ingrid Michaelson would be performing live during lunch on Monday. We happily jumped at the opportunity to have a little family time during the day. Live music is a bonus and Ingrid Michaelson did not disappoint! Sadly, we did not think to take a video [...]
The French Bakery
September 13, 2011After our Farmer’s Market fun, we went with Brenda to The French Bakery in Bellevue to use a coupon and enjoy some treats! Beatrice and I had been to the Kirkland and Crossroads locations, but this was new for us. It is definitely the largest of the three bakeries, but it is also the one where [...]
Splash Park
July 14, 2011One of our local parks has a little splash park area for children and Beatrice and I went to check it out last week. I wasn’t sure how she would respond to the water splashing, and she did stay close by my side for the first few minutes or so. Once she caught on, this [...]
