A really really quick catch up...

Oh wow!! It has been quite a while since I last posted. We have been extremely busy and absolutely loving it. Since my last post my sister came to town for a Surprise Birthday Party (Theme: Black & White) for our friend Amy. The following weekend we met up with a great group of friends at Lincoln Park in West Seattle (on what seems to have been the only nice day so far) followed by another night at the Ivy’s. I also planted my first garden!! I have never planted a full garden before, Paul let me plant his. So, I guess we’ll see how it turns out.

We are more then ready for this weather to go away… Snow in June just isn’t acceptable!! Dan’s niece (Kala, just turned 15 on Saturday) and nephew (Sheldon, 10) arrived bright and early yesterday morning. After picking them up, we spent the rest of the day at Paul Senger’s house. I made a feast of a breakfast including French toast, bacon, sausage, eggs, watermelon, cantaloupe and pineapple. Then we did some yard work while waiting for Dion and his family to show up. Dan, Alyssa & Sheldon spent all morning draining and scrubbing the hot tub (while Kala was sleeping); so after dinner we all got in to enjoy it.

It’s so great to have the kids here. It has been YEARS since they’ve been out here. We’ve all been searching for activities for all of us to do, so if anyone has any recommendations we would appreciate it.
