Happy Easter

Happy Easter! We spent the morning at church with my mom and Norm, then back to their house for a very yummy breakfast. Paul and I decided to compare bellies...I think I win!

Here fishy, fishy

Saturday was date day, so fun! We had dim sum (which I have to admit I thought was a kind of soup) for my very first time, bought yummy goodness at a Chinese bakery, went to the Seattle Aquarium, and then walked around Pike Place Market. It was a great day, very relaxing, and overall perfect!

Longest Run EVER!

I am so proud of my husband, he amazes me on a daily basis. He finished his longest run today, a 12K (which is 7.5 miles) and did it in 61 minutes! He is tired and sore but feeling very accomplished.


Being 4 months pregnant it's getting a little harder for me to run, but I finished the 5K and felt great! Here we are all done running and showing off the baby bump.

Spring break in the mountains

Who needs hot weather and a beach for spring break? We want mountains and snow! We went to visit my Aunt Renee and Uncle Larry at their house in Graeagle, California. Graeagle (pronounced "Gray Eagle") is a tiny mountain town that is too cute for words where everyone knows each other, there are no stop lights, and it feels like a little piece of paradise. We are already planning when we can go back! We went snowshoeing, running, walking around the town, snowboarding (I shopped), and we even had time to relax!

We went snowshoeing up an old ski hill. After that hike I have a much deeper appreciation for chair lifts!

Thanks for the perfect spring break Aunt Renee and Uncle Larry!

15 weeks

15 weeks pregnant and going strong! I feel extremely lucky that I really have no complaints. I've been a little tired lately, but no morning sickness, no bad food aversions, nothing like that. Paul has been the most supportive, wonderful husband that I could ever ask for. He tells me on a daily basis that I look cute, beautiful, darling, etc. even though I can't fit into any of my pants anymore. :) Honestly, this experience has been so perfect thus far that I'm thinking about being pregnant all the time!

Family Time

We are taking care of Savage's brother and sister this week and he is in heaven! Danger (the grey one) is Sav's littler mate and Sprite (the black one) is from the same mom and dad, just a different litter. They have been wrestling and playing non-stop and Savage loves it! Not to mention they are all exhausted at the end of the day, so we love it too!

Play time!

Baby projects

This is just the first of many projects, I'm sure. We spent the afternoon installing a closet system to gain some more organizational space in the nursery. Projects like this make it feel even more real and even closer to reality!

My growing belly makes it feel real as well...
