It's a boy!
We had our 20 week ultrasound yesterday and found out we’re having a BOY! While, from an interior decorating stance, I was looking forward to adding some yellows and corals to our home; we’re super excited to have another wee lad running about the place, and even more hopeful for the eventual friendship between our…

I can do hard things!
This morning I went to the dump, all by myself. First I took all the broken up drywall and two by fours from Sabina and I’s wall demolition, and then I loaded the truck HIGH with my “yard waste.” I think Scotland got a kick out of seeing his mother, 4 months pregnant, jumping on…

Some thoughts on canning
Two weeks ago, Scotter and I spent three days at my parents’ house. We went up to celebrate my Mom’s birthday, let Tom sleep in peace as he was working nights, and just absorb a bit more sunshine before the fall gray hits Seattle. My parents’ garden was overflowing with produce and being the waste…

The perks of living in Seattle
One of the perks of living in a recognizedly visit-worthy city is that, well, you get visitors! My dear friend Sarah Palfreyman and her fam came out to see the sites in Seattle and we got to spend an evening over pizza while they were here. It was SO good to catch up. I love…

Pete Family Reunion
Between Sabina and Brigette’s visit was our Pete Family reunion at my folks house. It was such a blast to get all the cousins together, work on some projects for my parents, and spend lots of time laughing and chatting together. I’m feeling slow of speech today so pictures will have to do. Remember what…

Sister Visits!
One of the perks of moving to the west is that we’re a whole lot closer to family. Originally we thought we were going to be moving to Utah- minutes from Brigette and an hour from Sabina. Being so far from them was the hardest part of moving to Seattle. You can only imagine my…

Organizing banter
Tom had the day off, and took Scotter for the afternoon/evening to a Star Trek convention he is attending with a friend from out of town. It’s been a LONG time since I had this much free time! I created a long list last night in preparation, mostly it entailed organizing our home. I’m eager…
